Explosions at the fortress of Szigetvar, from the History of Sultan Süleyman by Sayyid Luqman. The Ottomans ended the 1566 siege of Szigetvar (Hungary) by mining under one of the fortress towers, and blowing it up. As the army entered the fort, the magazine exploded. The Ottoman court historian (sahnameci) Sayyid Luqman composed this versified account of Süleyman the Magnificent's last seven years of life, describing events in the capital Istanbul, the sultan's military campaigns in the Balkans, Austria, Hungary, on Malta, and on Chios, and concluding with the sultan's death and funeral in 1566. Luqman was continuing the Ottoman dynastic chronicles established by his two immediate predecessors: Eflatun and before him the renowned court historian `Arif. `Arif composed the multi-volume Shahnama-yi Al-i Osman (Book of Kings of the House of Osman): Luqman’s work (CBL T 413) carefully follows this work’s form in language and general layout. `Arif also worked on two other important accounts of the Ottoman sultan: Mujmal al-Tumar (imperial scroll, 1584) and Hüner-nama (begun 1577), which were completed by his two court successors. Detached folio, ink, pigments and gold on paper, Persian verses with full-page painting (on verso), from the History of Sultan Süleyman by Sayyid Luqman, account of the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent in the years 1559-1566, commissioned for Ottoman Sultan Murad III, Istanbul, Turkey, 1579
