- Title:
- Saʻdī, Gulistān
- Scope & Content:
- Saʻdī’s Gulistān copied in 975 (1567/68) and ascribed in the colophon to the famous calligrapher Mīr ʻAlī Ḥusaynī in Bukhara (Uzbekistan). Includes six Bukhara-style paintings which were commissioned apparently at Akbar's request (see dedicational inscriptions on ff. 30r and 91r). Four of these are ascribed to the artist Shaykhm Muzahhib. The manuscript was 'improved' again in Jahangir's reign when seven more paintings were added, probably between 1605 and 1609
