Notlar	The king's parrot offers him the fruit of life, from Tales of a Parrot (Ṭūṭīnāma) by Ẓiya’ al-Dīn Nakhshabī (d. 1350). This anthology of stories was 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). The story of the ninth night is about the king of Syria, who owned a parrot so wise that the king refused to keep him in a cage. Having served for years as the king's trusted advisor, one day the loyal bird brought his master an extremely rare gift: a fruit that would grow into a tree of eternal life. The mystery fruit was planted and it duly grew into a fruit-bearing tree. The moment of trust came when the king finally held the promised fruit in his hand, and had to decide whether or not to eat it. With the green parrot perched on the side of the throne, and the court ministers watching in suspense, the king hesitated. 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.
