Abstract Note
This technical study aims to describe the visual and material aspects of a Bodleian Library copy of the <i>Kulliyyāt</i> of Saʿdī produced at the <i>Āstāna</i> of Ḥusām al-Dīn Ibrāhīm in Shiraz at the beginning of the 16th century. The manuscript shows skilled craftsmanship and unity of design in all its constituent parts: from the original boards decorated with stamped motifs and doublures to the double page illustration; the double page illumination; the 28 illuminated headings and other ornamental features. The close examination of this manuscript has also unveiled the name of the artist Saʿd al-Dīn concealed in the figurative painting he so skilfully created whilst Rūzbihān’s name appears concealed in the illuminated page.
