Retinue of John Sigismund Zapolya before Süleyman, from the History of Sultan Süleyman by Sayyid Luqman. This is one side of a double-page scene showing the king of Hungary (later prince of Transylvania) John Sigismund Zapolya (d. 1571) paying homage to the Ottoman sultan, who had defended his rule against challenge from the Hapsburgs. This reception took place in Zemun (Serbia) in 1566, when Süleyman and his army were travelling to fight Hapsburg forces at Szigetvar. Rows of janissary officers carry rolls of textiles and vessels, diplomatic gifts from John Sigismund. 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 recto, left-half of double-page illustration), 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.
