Jamshid enthronedTitle (Persian): 40Folio number: 001rNotes: One of seven illustrated folios from a dispersed Shiraz-style ms. of the Shahnama of c. 1440 in the Pozzi Collection. See B.W. Robinson, et al. Jean Pozzi. L'Orient d'un collectionneur. Musee d'art et d'histoire, Geneva, 1992, pp. 111, 223 (no. 23), b/w reproduction.The painter is probably one of those who contributed to the Hakim Shahnama, according to Robinson, p. 111. The picture is reproduced on p. 223 (no. 23).The text before the painting is the last section of the previous chapter (reign of Tahmuras); the rubric here anticipates the new reign and the picture (Ch.M.). Dimensions reported: 318x229 (folio),198x157 (text), 119x156 (picture).Location in text:Mohl 4, Jamshid (700 years), first line: 20, break line before: 50, break line after: None, last line: 50.The Simurgh brings Zal to SamFolio number: 002rNotes: One of seven illustrated folios from a dispersed Shiraz-style ms. of the Shahnama of c. 1440 in the Pozzi Collection.

See B.W. Robinson, et al. Jean Pozzi. L'Orient d'un collectionneur. Musee d'art et d'histoire, Geneva, 1992, pp. 111, 224 (no. 26), b/w reproduction.The artist has followed the text closely, and is one of the few who depict the Shah falling back down to earth, rather than rising from it at the start of his adventure.The picture seems to be accurately reflecting the text here, with Kavus falling out of the sky, rather than ascending. Folio: 310x233, text: 194x179.Location in text:Mohl 12b, Kay Kavus fights the King of Hamavaran, first line: 482, break line before: 481, break line after: 482.0, last line: 502.Battle between the armies of Iskandar and the FurFolio number: 005vNotes: One of seven illustrated folios from a dispersed Shiraz-style ms. of the Shahnama of c. 1440 in the Pozzi Collection.
