A journey through the collections
The pages of Persian manuscripts
Poetry, calligraphy and illuminated pages in manuscripts associated with Iran, from the 1600s and 1700s.
A manuscript is both a text and a made object. These records lead into digitized books and manuscript leaves held by the Walters Art Museum. Their dates describe the cataloged manuscripts, not necessarily the first composition of the texts they preserve.
