Fabulous lot of brilliant illuminated leaves written by the scribe Abu Bakr Jami in Isfahan. The Arabic text contains Islamic prayers with beautiful headings throughout. The highly polished paper is characteristic of that used for sacred texts. It was made by a separate guild and is sized with albumen and polished with an agate polisher.
