The Sufi, the enslaved man, and the last camel, from Rosary of the Pious (Subḥat al-abrār) by Jāmī (d. 1492). In this brief episode, a Sufi mystic meets with a merchant's encampment, and notices an enslaved African man chained in one of the tents. On asking the merchant to free him, the Sufi hears from the merchant why he now has only one camel left: earlier, the man’s beautiful singing so haunted the camel train, that once their packs were unloaded at the end of the day, the animals had run away. On requesting the man to sing once more, the Sufi was transfixed utterly by his song of longing, and the last camel broke its rope and escaped. Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with full painting (on verso), from Rosary of the Pious (Subḥat al-Abrār) by Nūr al-Dīn `Abd al-Raḥmān Jāmī (d. 1492), detached from codex CBL Per 238, text unsigned, painting attributed (lower margin) to Divāna Naqqāsh working from an older composition by Bihzād (“ṭarḥ Ustād Bihzād”), Bukhara, Uzbekistan, undated, c. 1560-1570.
