A propos de cet article

Neuware - This design pays tribute to an 18th-century binding that housed the Khamsa, a seminal work by Persian Sunni Muslim poet Nizami Ganjavi (c. 1141-1209). His best-known work, the Khamsa, is a series of five long narrative poems. The first of these, Makhzan-ol-Asrâr, was influenced by an early Sufi book of mystical poetry. The four other poems are medieval romances. Nizami's tragic story of star-crossed lovers Layla and Majnun has famously inspired many contemporary artists with its theme of unrequited love. The delicately adorned cover of this Layla journal, the second title in our Persian Poetry series, reflects the beauty of the words held within the original 18th-century book.

Synopsis

This design is inspired by an 18th-century binding that originally housed the Khamsa (known in English as the Five Treasures) by Persian poet Nizami. Consisting of five long narrative poems, the volume is a collection of medieval romances that draw on themes of unrequited love, beautifully mirroring the delicate botanical patterns of this cover.
