Persian verses (recto) from a Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones) of Jami (d. 1492), mid 1500s
Persian verses (recto) from a Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones) of Jami (d. 1492), mid 1500s. A suite of five poems, the Khamsa (khamsa is five in Arabic), written in the 1100s, was, like the earlier Shahnama, concerned with the history and legends of pre-Islamic Iran. But Nizamis interest was with love rather than war. In this, the second of the poems, he tells the story of these two famous star-crossed lovers. It is difficult to assign the illustrations here to specific episodes, but they may be concerned with Khusros stay at the court of Shirins aunt, the Queen of Azarbaijan. Shirin serves pomegranates to Khusro
