Partially dispersed manuscript of the Akbarnama, the official history of the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar (r. 964-1015 AH / 1556-1605 CE). The manuscript is divided largely between the British Library (Or. MS 2988) and the Chester Beatty Library (Ms. 3). The Chester Beatty portion contains 268 folios, with 61 miniatures. During Chester Beatty's lifetime, 58 of the miniatures were removed and separately mounted; only 3 have been left in the text. Seven extracted leaves belonging to this Akbarnama, which were purchased on various later occasions, are separately stored by the library. For more information, see Linda York Leach, 1995. | The volume was rebound in the eighteenth century with leather covers that have central tooled scenes showing deer, lions, cranes and other animals in a landscape; a signature in a cartouche (lower inside front cover) indicates that the binder was Muhammad Zaman 'Abbasi. | Culture: Islamic | Materials/Techniques: ink on paper, gold on paper, opaque watercolor, paper | Note: Provenance: The volume was dispersed in the West by the early twentieth century French dealer Demotte who presumably obtained it in Persia. Sir Chester Beatty's portion of the manuscript was purchased from Quaritch in 1923. | more | less
