IMAGE GALLERY
A finely illustrated manuscript copy of the medieval tragic romance of Leila and Majnun, originally composed by Nizami Ganjavi (d. 1209) and present here in the recension of Maktabi Shirazi (d. 1520). The popularity of this romantic love story meant that over the years it was adapted by many renowned poets, including Amir Khusraw and Jami, and re-told in the native languages of the neighbouring regions of Turkey, Central Asia and India.
