Persian Kama Sutra. Copy no. 209 of the prestigious facsimile edition published by Siloé (Barcelona), produced in a unique and unrepeatable limited run of 600 copies numbered in Arabic numerals, alongside an additional 100 not-for-sale copies numbered in Roman numerals.

The volume faithfully reproduces an Indo-Persian manuscript richly illustrated, with 119 full-page miniatures, and features a hand-crafted binding in Persian style, with a gold-impressed three-section cover, following the models of the Safavid and Mughal schools.

Of utmost significance is the presence of the original notarial certificate, signed and stamped by the notary José-Manuel Terol Raduán, bearing the official seal of the Consejo General del Notariado Español (act dated 14 January 2011, protocol number 31).
This document guarantees the complete authenticity of the edition and is very rare on the collectors’ market.
