Their collection was given to the people of India after independence. The Raza Library at Rampur thus possesses a remarkable collection of Mughal and Persian Paintings and illlustrated books. This includes minia-tures from the great Jahangirnama, considered by many as the greatest of all Mughal illustrated manuscripts. The Raza Library holdings of the Akbar period are equally distinguished including a work on astrology Tarjama-i Sirr al-maktum and a Divan-i Hafiz with eleven miniatures by Akbar?s best court artists painted in Lahore about 1585, published here with much new scholarship. A painting of the aging Jahangir at the jharokha and many other portraits of the 17th-19th centuries will come as wonderful surprises to those interested in Indian art throughout the world. Most of the miniatures (some 4,000 in number) and the contents of thirty-five albums of paintings (an additional 1,000 items) are catalogued herein. Many of these are being reproduced for the first time. The catalogue entries include up-to-date scholarly research on Mughal and Persian painting. An extensive bibliography and numerous indices make this volume a helpful tool for scholars. The catalogue?s 330 illustrations will delight every reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aryan Books International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49526349562160,"sku":"AryanBooksInernationalDrg_9788173052781","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/aryan-books-international-book-default-title-mughal-and-persian-paintings-and-illustrated-manuscripts-in-the-raza-library-rampur-40144531292464.jpg?v=1775959306","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/mughal-and-persian-paintings-and-illustrated-manuscripts-in-the-raza-library-rampur","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
