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.
This two-volume work describes three collections of Persian
manuscripts and lithographic prints at the Royal Library,
Copenhagen: 155 manuscripts and lithographs acquired by Arthur
Christensen in Iran, 10 manuscripts collected by David Simonsen and
102 manuscripts acquired by the Library. All items have been
included in the holdings of the Library after the publication of
the previous catalogue in 1857. The Persian manuscripts included in
the three collections cover a variety of topics, the major fields
being poetry and history. The oldest date from the 9th H/15th CE
century and the most recent from the 14th H/20th CE century. Among
the items described, there is a substantial number of Qagar-period
lithographs, many of them illustrated. A special group of
lithographs is formed by four diaries written by the Qagar ruler
Naser al-Din ah (ruled 1264 - 1313 H [1848 - 1896 CE]). In the
diaries, the Naser al-Din ah describes his travels in Iran, Iraq
and Europe. Designed especially as an essential source of reference
for scholars working in all aspects of manuscript studies, the
catalogue includes over 500 full-page illustrations (some in
colour) that help identify each of the manuscripts.
