Örnek Metin	Portraits of the `Abbāsid Caliphs al-Mu`tazz (d. 869) and al-Muqtadir (d. 932), Samanid ruler Bilgetegin (d. 975), with the Ghaznavid rulers Maḥmūd (d. 1030) and Bahrām Shāh (d. 1152) (recto), and `Abbāsid Caliph Mustarshid (d. 1135) with Seljuk sultans Malikshāh (d. 1092) and Aḥmad Sanjar (d. 1157) (verso), from the genealogy (silsilanāma), Cream of Histories (Zübdet-üt Tevarih). This portrait folio is from a book produced in Baghdad in 1598 (CBL T 423). The text and its family tree diagrams together provide a visual synopsis of universal history, presenting the Ottoman sultanate as its culmination. Here, the author lays out history as a genealogical tree with portrait medallions. This tree follows the sequence of Islam's prophets (starting with Adam, up to the Prophet Muḥammad), as well as kings and rulers, from ancient pre-Islamic Iran, then selectively through Islamic history up to the Ottoman dynasty. Two other known copies are dated to the same year (1006H), and also made in Baghdad: the political issue of righteous Ottoman power was of importance to the city, governed by the Sunni Ottoman empire, with a Shi`i majority population, and located between the Ottoman and (Twelver Shi`i) Safavid empires. Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Turkish text in black and red naskh script, diagrammatic family tree with labelled portrait medallions of the `Abbāsid Caliphs al-Mu`tazz (d. 869) and al-Muqtadir (d. 932), Samanid ruler Bilgetegin (d. 975), with the Ghaznavid rulers Maḥmūd (d. 1030) and Bahrām Shāh (d. 1152) (recto), and `Abbāsid Caliph Mustarshid (d. 1135) with Seljuk sultans Malikshāh (d. 1092) and Aḥmad Sanjar (d. 1157) (verso), folio from the Cream of Histories (Zubdat al-tavārīkh, Zübdet-üt Tevarih), dedicated to Ottoman Sultan Meḥmed III (r. 1595-1603), copied by Abū Ṭālib Iṣfahānī (signs and dates the codex, CBL T 423, fol. 14r), Baghdad, Iraq, dated Shawwal 1006H, May 1598.
