Here we have two non sequential (fols. 221r and 198v) illuminated headpieces from a collection of poems written in Persia, between ca. 1575 and 1599 by Shah Qāsim (LJS 43). The poems take the form of both rubāʻīyāt, which are quatrains, or poems comprising of four lines, and qaṣāʼid, or lyric poems.For more information on this manuscript, or to see the digitized images, please turn to Penn in Hand; http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren/detail.html?id=MEDREN_5404317 -- source link
