| Not | Isfandiyar kills the dragon, from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by Firdausi. Isfandiyar rides inside his spiked chariot towards the giant dragon, painted in the folio margin as it climbs down the mountainside towards him. This is one of ten folios detached from its codex (also in the Chester Beatty collection, Per 270), the second volume in a two-volume set of this text, illustrated by the Isfahan painter Mu`in Musavvir. Volume one is in the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto (Ms22): its colophon is dated Jumada II 1064H (April 1654), with four of its paintings dated 1065H or 1067H (1654-1657). Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with framed rubric ("The Third Trial: Isfandiyar kills the dragon", in white) and painting (both on verso), from the Book of Kings (Shahnama) by Firdausi (codex CB Per 270), painting signed Mu'in Musavvir, Isfahan, Iran, 1655. |
