Yusuf and Zulaykha (recto); Text Page, Persian Verses (verso), c. 1556-65. Iran, Shiraz or Mashhad, Safavid period (1501-1722). Opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper; sheet: 29.8 x 17.3 cm (11 3/4 x 6 13/16 in.); image: 21.3 x 15.3 cm (8 3/8 x 6 in.). The Khamsa, a suite of five poems (khamsa is Arabic for five) written in the twelfth century, was, like the earlier Shahnama, concerned with the history and legends of pre-Islamic Iran. But Nizami's interest was with love rather than war. In this, the second of the poems, he tells the story of famous star-crossed lovers.
