Khojasta listens to the parrot’s story for the twenty-first night, from Tales of a Parrot (Ṭūṭīnāma) by Ẓiya’ al-Dīn Nakhshabī (d. 1350). Tales of a Parrot is a collection of fifty-two stories. Each begins with a conversation between a woman named Khojasta and her pet parrot, sitting together at home while her husband is away for a long work trip. To keep Khojasta from getting bored, the green parrot tells her a long and entertaining story from his cage, every evening, for fifty-two nights. The stories were adapted c. 1330 from a Persian text (Jewels of Evening Tales, Javāhir al-asmār, by `Imād ibn Muḥammad al-Thughrī, c. 1213), based in turn on a Sanskrit anthology (The Parrot’s Seventy Tales, Shuka-saptati, compiled by Hema Chandra). Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with painting (on recto), from Tales of a Parrot (Ṭūṭīnāma) by Ẓiya’ al-Dīn Nakhshabī (d. 1350), produced for Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605), text copied by Ismā`īl Narang (inscription in codex, CBL In 21), Lahore, modern Pakistan, or Fatehpur Sikri, India, undated, c. 1580-1585.
