London British Library Or. 225: Difference between revisions

This manuscript was specially commissioned by Mohammad Qutb Shah in 1622. The decision to commission a translation of Zahiri al Samarqandi's translation, given that there was already a beautifully illuminated manuscript of Azod Yazdi's later versification of the work circulating in the Deccan court, illustrates the widespread popularity of the Sindbanama and, in particular, the reputation of Zahiri al Samarqandi's original version.
