Parent Work Title:
Mihr va-Mushtarī

ʻAṣṣār Tabrīzī, Muḥammad, -1382 or 1383
Creator Role:

Date Created:
1386 [788 AH]
Description:
This early illustrated copy of Mihr va-Mushtarī (the Sun and Jupiter) by Muḥammad 'Aṣṣār Tabrīzī (d. ca. 1383) opens with a double-page frontispiece that portrays a princely hunting scene, and features five other illustrations as well. While the colophon declares completion in 10 Muḥarram 788 AH (11 Feb. 1386 Julian), probably within one of the sulatanate Greater Iran, it would appear to date the work itself, not this manuscript, which instead appears from about a century later.
