(8.1 x 12.8cm.); folio 8 1/4 x 5 7/8in. (20.8 x 14.4cm.)This is a rare and early copy of the Diwan of La’li, which was the penname of one of the Mir's of Badakhshan, Sultan Muhammad, who was killed by the Timurid Abu Said in 1467 (see Annemarie Schimmel, A Two-Coloured Brocade: The Image of Persian Poetry, Chapel Hill, 1992, p. 158). There are no other recorded copies of this Diwan. Our copy was written only 8 years after the death of the author. The colophon is dated in Ottoman siyaq numeral giving the date AH 880/1475-76 AD. The scribe Muhammad Muhyi does not appear to be recorded elsewhere. Next to the colophon is the impression of the seal of Bayezid II which indicates that this work was once part of his royal library.细节 SULTAN MUHAMMAD, KNOWN AS LALI (D. 1467): DIWANSIGNED MUHAMMAD MUHYI, OTTOMAN TURKEY, DATED AH 880/1475-76 ADPersian manuscript on paper, 45ff. plus seven flyleaves, each folio with 13ll. of black nastaliq arranged mostly in two columns within gold rules, headings in gold thuluth, the colophon dated in Ottoman siyaq numerals, signed and bearing the seal impression of Sultan Bayezid II, with later owners inscriptions to flyleaves, in gilt tooled binding with flap, the doublures in red leatherText panel 5 1/8 x 3 1/8in.
