Description:
Detail of image depicting scene from the Gulistan by the popular Persian poet Sa'di. Dated to 1258CE, the work, which is part prose and part poetry, discusses leadership, materialism and the virtues of silence. This illustration is taken from Sa'di's collected works (Kulliyat), which were first collated during the fourteenth century. Read widely throughout the world and influencing the writings of individuals such as Diderot, Hugo and Voltaire, the works of Sa'di (d.1291), were first collected into a single volume during the fourteenth century and are known for their social and moral themes. An illustrated volume of Sa'di's Kulliyat, the miniatures from this manuscript appear to depict scenes from within the text and are rich in both colour and detail. Sources: Arnold, E. (2007) tr., Sa'di: The Gulistan, New York. Hukk, M (1925), A descriptive catalogue of the Arabic and Persian manuscripts in Edinburgh University Library, Hertford. http://classics.mit… (accessed 05/06/14).
