Bound Manuscript of Hadith with Persian Translations by Jami Manuscript dated A.H. 935/A.D. 1528; binding ca. 1575-1600 Shah Mahmud Nishapuri Shah Mahmud Nishapuri, one of the leading calligraphers at the court of Shah Tahmasp (reigned 1524-76), copied this manuscript of Hadith (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad with a Persian translation by the poet Jami (1414-1492). The manuscript consists of seven folios of nasta'liq writing with an illuminated heading ('unwan) and an introduction in Persian. The body of the text contains illuminated corner pieces and bands of floriated vine scrolls separating lines of Arabic script from lines of Persian translation written diagonally. The colophon states that Shah Mahmud Nishapuri copied the manuscript in "dar al-sultana Tabriz," the Safavid capital in A.H. 935/A.D. 1528. The writing is exquisite, and the care with which the manuscript is laid out and illuminated reflects the high level of patronage in Tahmasp's court. Shah Mahmud Nishapuri, know
