Illuminated Folio (recto) from a Gulistan (Rose Garden) of Sadi (c. 1213-1291), c. 1475-1500, borders added c. 1550. The Gulistan, completed around 1258, is one of the most celebrated works of Persian literature. The books name means " rose garden" in Persian; just as a rose garden is a collection of flowers, the contents are a collection of anecdotes. Written in both prose and verse, the Gulistan was used for centuries as a primer for schoolchildren in greater Iran, India, and Turkey. The text on these pages is written in nastaliq script and comes from the first chapter, " On the Conduct of Kings." The exquisite borders of these two folios show lions, dragons, foxes, and peacocks in a lush landscape, painted in gold and silver that has tarnished over time

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illuminated folio from a Gulistan (Rose Garden) of Sadi, dating back to the late 15th century. The Gulistan is renowned as one of the most cherished works of Persian literature, completed around 1258. Its name translates to "rose garden" in Persian, symbolizing a collection of beautiful anecdotes just like a garden filled with flowers. The text on these pages, written in elegant nastaliq script, belongs to the first chapter titled "On the Conduct of Kings". For centuries, this masterpiece served as a fundamental primer for schoolchildren across greater Iran, India, and Turkey. What truly sets this artwork apart are its exquisite borders added around 1550. Painted in gold and silver that has gracefully tarnished over time, they depict enchanting scenes featuring majestic lions, mythical dragons, cunning foxes, and resplendent peacocks amidst lush landscapes. Each stroke reveals the mastery of Sultan Ali Mashhadi's artistic vision during the Timurid period. Preserved on paper using opaque watercolor and ink techniques by skilled Iranian artisans from Herat region in Afghanistan; this manuscript represents an invaluable piece of heritage art. Acquired by The Cleveland Museum of Art; it stands as a testament to the rich cultural legacy shared between nations. This remarkable print captures not only the visual splendor but also carries within it centuries worth of wisdom and storytelling that continues to inspire generations worldwide.
