Notlar	Salm and Tūr organise the murder of their brother Īraj, by Muḥammad Zamān, from the Book of Kings (Shāhnāma). Angry over the succession plan, the two embittered sons of Farīdūn have organised the murder of their innocent brother Īraj. They send his head to their horrified father, seated here on the left. Farīdūn is dressed in contemporary Safavid fashion, and he may be understood also as Muḥammad Zamān's royal patron, Shah Sulaymān. The scene takes place in front of a European architectural composition in startling illusionistic perspective. The source image was a print by the Dutch artistprintmaker Hendrik Hondius (died 1650), adapted in turn from Hans Vredeman de Vries (died 1607). A specialist painter in the European mode (farangi-saz, in Persian), Isfahan court painter Muḥammad Zamān was appointed to add modern paintings to this older manuscript from the royal library, in 1675-6. Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with painting (on recto) and gold-painted borders, from the Book of Kings (Shāhnāma) by Abū al-Qāsim Firdausī (d. 1020), painting by Muḥammad Zamān, folio produced Qazvin or Isfahan, Iran, c. 1590-1600, this painting (or possibly entire folio) added as part of an intervention by Muḥammad Zamān, Isfahan, Iran, 1675-1676. This is one of twenty-two folios in the Chester Beatty, all from the same partial copy (possibly never fully completed) of Firdausī's Shāhnāma: ten folios are in a modern binding, twelve are mounted separately. Most of these folios are not directly sequential, and fall into three sets, narrating the earliest kings, Farīdūn and his descendants, and Rustam.
