Sa'adi of Syria - Kulliyat - Kashmir - 1815
A very good and imposing bi-folio from an edition of Sa’adi’s works including the Bustan (Fruit Garden) and the Gulistan (Rose Garden) compiled as the ‘Kulliyat’. Sheikh Sa’adi (c1180-1292) is acknowledged as the greatest moral teacher in Persia in the Islamic Sufi tradition. The text is nastaliq and in a fine hand. The decoration in the margins and the floral verticals is exquisite. This particular manuscript dates from around 1815. The condition is very good.
Both leaves of the bi-folio contain a central rectangular script frame, with a wide margin in which is further script and decorative illuminations to the inside corners and centre. Not quite mirror images, the right folio contains a Surat with a lovely book-end floral decoration.
