Jonathan Devaux

An exquisite bi-folio of Kashmiri origin copied from the Divan written by Mohammed Shama od-din Hafez (1329-1399), and in very good condition with wonderfully vibrant colours and decoration. It is scribed in elegant nasta'liq in black ink by a fine hand, and having beautiful floral borders and dividing columns accentuated with gold. Each of the 13 lines of scripture (divided by a floral column) are pillowed in gold clouds.  Both folios have multiple lined framing and a wonderful floral border. Both folios are 17x9.5cm. 

The Divan, which expresses Sufi ideals in lyrics, was written by Mohammed Shama od-din Hafez (1329-1399), a Sufi Muslim who practised a mystical form of Islam.  His name 'Hafez' was given to those Muslims who could recite the Holy Koran by heart.
