St. Petersburg: Rossiiskaia natsional'naia biblioteka, 2008. Pb. This monograph reproduces and studies some of the best works from the collection of Persian manuscripts in the Russian National Library dating to the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. As a whole they show the stages of book art in Iran over four centuries. Included are examples of bindings, calligraphy, ornamentation and miniatures. High points in the history of Iranian book art are closely examined: in a separate chapter the author notes their aesthetic distinctions, seeks to specify attribution, looks at provenance of manuscripts, whenever possible identifying those who commissioned them. 131 p., 28 cm, approx. 150 color illus., Rus. and ENGLISH.
