The poet and statesman Jāmī wrote this account of the lives of over six hundred great Sufis in history. In this biographical episode, the Sufi shaykh Junayd Baghdādī (d. 910, seated on the minbar steps in this painting) held a meeting at dawn, and a crowd gathered to hear him speak. Unnoticed, a young Christian man also joined the meeting in the mosque, and asked a searching question. On the insightful shaykh’s invitation, he decided to convert to Islam. Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with painting (verso), from Breaths of intimacy from presences of sanctity (Nafaḥāt al-uns min ḥaẓarāt al-quds), by `Abd al-Raḥmān Nūr al-Dīn Jāmī (1414-1492), biographies of great sufis, originally composed in 1478, colophon (in main codex T 474, fol. 350r) unsigned, Baghdad, Iraq, dated Shawwal 1003H, June 1595. |
