Description
This is a detailed study of the illustrations to Amir Khusrau's Khamsah, in which twenty discourses are followed by a brief parable, and four romances.
Amir Khusrau (1253-1325) lived the greater part of adventurous life in Delhi; he composed in Persian, and also in Hindi.
From the point of view of manuscript illustration, his most important work is his Khamsah (Quintet').
Khusrau's position as a link between cultures of Persia and India means that the early illustrated copies of the Khamsah have a particular interest.
The first extant exemplar is from the Persian area in the late 14th century, but a case can be made that work was probably illustrated earlier in India.
