Vahshi Bafqi (1532-1583), Shirîn and Farhad, Iran qâjâr, 1842 Manuscript on paper, 12 lines per page in two columns, text in Persian nasta'liq sheskate in black ink on a gold-powdered background. Manuscript richly illuminated in gold and polychrome with several sarlow frontispieces decorated with floral scrolls and semis of florets surmounting a gilded title cartouche, as well as several cartouches separating the various sections. Titles not inscribed in cartouches but in marginal notes. At the end of the manuscript, colophon naming the patron Mîrza Mohammad Ebrahîm, giving the date 1258 H / 1842 and completed with a religious formula containing the name of Hussein. Papier-mâché binding with painted and lacquered decoration on both sides of gol-o-bolbol compositions of nightingales resting on rose stems and in branches of rosehips, a butterfly completing the compositions. 17.3 x 10.5 cm Slight wear, a few stains and freckles, small chips and cracks on the binding. Vahshi Bafqi (1532-1583) was an Iranian poet active in Kashan during the Safavid period. Shirîn and Farhad, whose protagonists were made famous by the poem Khosrow and Shirîn from Nezâmî's Khamseh, is probably his best-known work. Like this story of impossible love interrupted by suicide, the poem remained unfinished. It was completed in the 19th century by Shirazi poets. We would like to thank Ms. Negar Habibi, Professor of Islamic Art at the University of Geneva, for identifying the contents of this manuscript.
