Object Description
| Title | Hafiz, 14th cent. Divan, fragment. |
| Creator | Hafiz, 14th cent. (author) |
| Description | Persian poetry, written in calligraphy on handmade paper. This original fourteenth century leaf is from a calligraphic manuscript of the Divan of Hafiz, the collected poems of the poet also known as Muhammed Shamsuddin Hafiz or Shamsoddin Mohammad Hafez-e Shirazi, ca. 1320-1390. Hafiz, one of the most celebrated of Persian poets, was considered especially gifted with the poetic form known as the ghazal or love poem. This leaf is written in Ta'liq script with 28 lines on side one and 29 lines on side two, written in columns and diagonals with floral inserts. The word divan refers to any compilation. The first English prose translation of the Divan of Hafiz was done by Henry Wilberforce Clarke. This two volume work, edited by H.S. Jarrett, with critical and explanatory remarks, an introductory preface, a note on Sufism, and a life of the author, was published in Calcutta in 1881, and reprinted in 1974 by Octagon Press in London. Please note that because Arabic and Persian texts are read right to left, the designations recto and verso do not apply. |
