Firdausi's epic Book of Kings was composed c. 1010, and tells in Persian verse the mythical histories of fifty kings and queens from ancient pre-Islamic Iran.

In Mecca he meets the descendants of the prophet Ibhraim (Abraham). Detached folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian poetry in nasta`liq script, caption in gold ("Iskandar goes to the Ka`ba") and painting (on recto), text copied by Muhammad Baqqal, dated 23 Jumada I 885H, Shiraz, Iran, 31 July 1480.
