Page from a Panj Ganj (Five Treasures) of Abd al-Rahman Jami (Persian, 1414–1492), with two Persian masnavis: Yusuf va Zulaykha (Joseph and Zulaykha) and Subhat al-abrar (Rosary of the Righteous) (verso)

The page showcases exuberant border decorations and insets, along with a full-page painting, commissioned by Abd al-Rahim to complete the manuscript's illumination. The style reflects the patron's influence on the artistic execution.

Originally completed circa 1414-1492, the manuscript was acquired by Abd al-Rahim, a prominent Mughal statesman and art patron, around 80 years after its creation. He oversaw the addition of elaborate illustrations and designs.

Created within the cultural and literary flourishing of the Mughal court, this manuscript represents the intersection of Persian literary heritage and Mughal artistic patronage, highlighting the era's appreciation for both literature and visual arts.

Now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this page from Panj Ganj contributes to the understanding of Mughal-era manuscript illumination and the enduring impact of Jami's works on Islamic literary and artistic traditions.
