EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning page from the anthology of poetry by the legendary Persian poet Hafiz Shirazi, illuminated with a captivating miniature painting from the Safavid period, presents a vertical, upright scene of a grand banquet. The illustration, believed to be from the manuscript known as "Muhammad Al-Hadith," depicts a group of men reclining on richly decorated carpets, partaking in a sumptuous feast. The central figure, dressed in elegant Persian attire, raises a cup in a toast, while the other men engage in lively conversation and laughter. The intricate details of the painting, from the ornate architecture of the banquet hall to the delicate patterns on the textiles, showcase the exceptional artistry of Persian miniature painting during the Safavid era. The Royal Library of the Monastery of El Escorial in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid (Autonomous Community, Spain), is home to this priceless manuscript, a testament to the rich cultural exchange between the East and the West during the Middle Ages. The illuminated manuscripts and miniatures within its collection offer a glimpse into the vibrant world of Persian literature and art, showcasing the beauty, complexity, and enduring legacy of Persian culture.
