Object Description
| Title | History in Persian, fragment. |
| Description | Leaf from a nineteenth century Persian language history book produced in India, most likely Jaipur, in AH 1284. The date, according to the Islamic calendar, is counted from 622 CE when the Prophet Muhammad made his Hijra or Hegira, moving from Mecca to Medina to establish the first Islamic state. The 11 lines of text are in black and red, within borders. There is a catchword in black written in the bottom margin of side two. Catchwords reference the first word at the top of the following page and so help a bookbinder assemble the book in the correct order after the text is copied. Please note that because Arabic and Persian texts are read right to left, the designations recto and verso do not apply. The text of this book was written on variety of colors of laid or handmade paper. This leaf is green. The Persian influence in India dates to the eighth century and persisted into the nineteenth century through waves of merchants and scholars identified by Josef W. Meri as "culturally Persianized Turks and Afghans." |
