Örnek Metin	The simurgh arrives to assist Rūdāba with the birth of Rustam, by Muḥammad Zamān. The simurgh (a giant magical bird) flies down into the picture-frame, in response to an appeal from her former foster-son Zal, during the labour of his wife Rūdāba. With the noble simurgh's help, Rūdāba gives birth (via Caesarean section) to Rustam, who will grow up to become the great hero of Firdausi's epic. A specialist painter in the European mode (farangi-saz, in Persian), Isfahan court painter Muḥammad Zamān was appointed to add modern paintings to this older manuscript from the royal library, in 1675-6. Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with illuminated text rubric ("Rūdāba's pregnancy with Rustam, and the arrival of the Sīmurgh", on recto), painting (on verso) and gold-painted borders, from the Book of Kings (Shāhnāma) by Abū al-Qāsim Firdausī (d. 1020), painting dated and signed Muḥammad Zamān (“kamtarīn bandegān Muḥammad Zamān ṣūrat itemām yāft 1086”, along central balustrade), folio produced Qazvin or Isfahan, Iran, c. 1590-1600, this painting (or possibly entire folio) added in Isfahan, Iran, dated 1086H, 1675-1676. This is one of twenty-two folios in the Chester Beatty, all from the same partial copy (possibly never fully completed) of Firdausī's Shāhnāma: ten folios are in a modern binding, twelve are mounted separately. Most of these folios are not directly sequential, and fall into three sets, narrating the earliest kings, Farīdūn and his descendants, and Rustam.
