A poem in Turkish at the end of the manuscript, content: The art of Islamic paper cutting developed in the Iranian culture in the city of Herat, which is now part of Afghanistan, at the time of the Timurid princes who ruled in the 15th century. Paper cutting reached Constantinople via Tabriz in Azerbaijan at the beginning of the 16th century and remained a valued technique in Ottoman book art until the 19th century. To cut out the paper cutters, most of whom also worked as calligraphers, used special knives with pointed, downwardly curved cutting edges. This booklet, consisting of just eight sheets, contains seven short prayers of praise in Arabic. They are intended for private, rhythmic prayer with the prayer beads (tesbîh), as was particularly practiced by members of the dervish orders. A special prayer is included for each day of the week. A note on the back of the first paper cut attributes this work to the Mevlevi dervish Fahri Dede (died around 1617), a famous paper cutter from Bursa. At the end of the manuscript there is a poem in Turkish., Equipment: The prayer texts and decorative elements (flowers, bushes, cypresses and flower tendrils) are cut out of thin, white oriental paper and framed in yellowish colored paper that comes from Italy or Spain., Short shot of a manuscript, Literature: Miracles of Creation 2009.
