This catalog describes two collections of Persian manuscripts at
the Royal Library, Copenhagen: 143 manuscripts originating mainly
from India, 13 manuscripts collected by Johan S. Eyser in Turkey
and one manuscript acquired by the Library in 1956. A large part of
the Cod. Pers. collection is connected with India (the texts were
copied in India or authored by Indian scholars or by Persian
scholars who had settled in India). The manuscripts include poetry,
history and medicine. The Eyser collection consists of classical
Persian literature in prose and verse. Designed especially as an
essential source of reference for scholars working in all aspects
of manuscript studies, the catalog includes over 370 full-page
illustrations (many in color) that help to identify the texts and
give a glimpse of the calligraphic styles and decorative elements
of the manuscripts. A companion volume to an earlier catalogue of
the Royal Library's Persian holdings, this will be an essential
reference work for many scholars, curators and other professionals
working in Iranian and Islamic art history and/or manuscript
studies.
