Begining Shamseh – Harmony in Art

Begining Shamseh

This Shamseh (or roundel) is my tribute
to Nizami and his poetry.
Highlighted in red are all the titles of his
poetry, and in the middle is his name:
Hakim Nizami Ganjavi. All the miniatures
that follow contain selected verses from
the Haft Paykar, with English translation
by Julie Scott Meisami on the facing
pages of the catalogue.
