- Title:
- Mohabbatnāmā
- Scope & Content:
-
The text is a romantic narrative poem depicting the adventurous love story of Hazrat Yusuf and J[z]ulékhā, a woman of peerless beauty. The core story is described in the Qur'an as 'Āhsānūl Kachach'. The text here is an adaptation of the work Mohabbatnāmā written in Persian by Maulānā Jamir. Originally written by Sādék Āli, it was reproduced by Muhammād Hatem Saheb, perhaps with some revision.
The significance of the text lies in the fact that a theme borrowed from Persian tradition was thoroughly remodelled and rearranged in order to accommodate new as well as subtle regional, socio-cultural and aesthetic variation.
The original volume is printed and measures 132mm x 216mm. It is undated. The title page is missing and the main text is printed on pages 1-95. These pages are all that have been copied, along with the front and back covers and what may be two advertisements found at the end of the book, one in Nāgri script and one in mainstream Bengali script, printed in red ink.
