Lot 63 - BEAU CORAN HARARI SIGNÉ ET DATÉ - ETHIOPIA, COPIED BY MUHAMMAD AL-BASHIR AL-NADHIR KABIR 'ABD AS-SALAM IBN SIM JARAD ABU BAKR. DATED: TUESDAY 4, RABI' AL-AWWAL 1193 H./ MARCH 22, 1779 Arabic manuscript on watermarked western laid paper (tre lune). 299 folios + 2 endpapers. The text is copied in a variant of the Bihari style, at 13 lines per page, in black ink (carbon ink). A 4-folio preface, copied by the same hand in red ink, precedes the Qur'anic text. This is followed by a one-page postface index, also copied in red, indicating the total number of verses according to the different regional schools. The initial double-page is inscribed in a rectangle illuminated in red and black ink, with two lateral bands featuring white interlacing on a red background. Diacritical marks and vowels are in black. Orthoepic signs and verse separators are in red. Between each sura is a formula in red, giving the title of the forthcoming sura, the place of revelation and the number of verses. In the margins, the copyist has indicated in red the divisions of the text (into hizb, quarter and half hizb, and juz') and in blue, glosses relating to the spelling of the consonant skeleton. Original binding, restored in the 20th century. Text area : 15.5 x 10.5 cm ; Page : 22.5 x 16 cm This manuscript, copied in 1193H./1779, displays formal characteristics - decorations, calligraphy, formats - typical of the East African manuscript tradition, and more specifically of the production of the city of Harar, located in eastern Ethiopia. This production seems to have been formalized around the 18th century; the earliest dated witnesses predate the example presented here by only a few decades (see the manuscript in the Khalili QUR706 collection, dated 1162H./1749). The Harar Qur'ans are distinguished first and foremost by their ability to borrow and reinterpret visual elements from sometimes distant manuscript traditions, such as that of sultanate India (see the work of S. Mirza). The other remarkable feature of this Koranic production is the insertion of a long preface - inspired by the rhymed treatise of the Shatibiyya, composed by al-Shatibi (d. 590/1194) - serving as a guide to reading, which constitutes a unique testimony to the use of the mushaf within the Muslim community in these regions.

The neo-Achaemenid style was initially confined to Qajar stone reliefs, the most famous of which were commissioned by Fath'Ali Shah. It became popular after the 1880s (Fellinger, L'Empire des roses, Chefs d'œuvre de l'art persan du XIXe siècle, Musée du Louvre-Lens and ed. Snoek, Ghent, 2018, p. 61). Inspired by Achaemenid sculptures from Persepolis and Sassanid bas-reliefs, this style was all the rage in the Shiraz region. A carved alabaster mantel panel features the same scene as on the lid of the casket (Lerner, Three Achaemenid "Fakes": A reevaluation in the light of 19th century Iranian architectural sculpture, Expedition Magazine, Penn Museum, 1980, pp. 13-15).

Painting: 20 x 12.8 cm; Page: 36.8 x 27.2 cm Ex-collection Joseph Soustiel (1904-90), Paris. This page comes from an album that may have been assembled by the Nawab of Oudh, Shuja al-Daula, around 1770. Some of the paintings in the album bear the seal of Sir Elijah Impey, first Chief Justice of Bengal from 1774 to 1983. These may have been given to Sir Elijah or acquired by him from the Nawab family shortly after his death (Leach, Mughal and Other Indian Paintings From the Chester Beatty Library, 1995, vol.II, p.655-6). It has also been suggested that the patron of this album might have been Najm al-Din 'Ali Khan, depicted in a palace on a page of an album identical to the one on our page (see Sotheby's London, December 14, 1987, lot 31). For other pages sold at auction, see : Christie's, London, April 8, 2008, lots 293 and 294; April 25, 2013, lot 175; Sotheby's London, October 25, 2017, lot 83 and October 19, 2016, lot 18.

The Chester Beatty Library holds eighteen pages, eight of which were produced at the Mughal court in the late 16th and 17th centuries. The remaining ten paintings date from the 18th century and have been attributed to Awadhi artists such as Mihr Chand, Sital Das and Bahadur Singh (Leach, ibid., pp. 656-664; nos. 6.232-6.241). The pages of this album all have dark blue inner borders, large gold-flecked margins on buff paper, and a distinctive cartouche in the upper margin, inscribed in Persian, in nasta'liq. Most of these inscriptions refer to Hosn's protrait, "tasvir-i husn...", which is why this album is sometimes called "Hosn's Album". Corners and edges of the folio slightly scuffed, margins with minor stains, small loss to outer edge of right border, the image with small areas of rubbing and loss to pigments, minor creasing, some staining and scattered spots of discolouration, the pigments on the figures are strong, as viewed.
