EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Farhang- Jahangiri Persian-language Dictionary. Compiled by Mir Jamal al-Din Husayn Inju of Shiraz, this exquisite manuscript dates back to 1607-1608 and was created for Emperor Jahangir at the Mughal court in India. The dictionary is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between Persia and India during this period. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold were meticulously applied on paper, resulting in a stunning double-sided composition. One side features an elegant blue border (recto), while the other boasts a vibrant red border (verso). The page itself measures 33.7 x 21.9 cm, with a text field measuring 21.2 x 11 cm. Every stroke of calligraphy within this dictionary reflects the dedication and expertise of its creator. It serves as both an invaluable linguistic resource and a work of art that embodies the beauty of Persian script. Preserved within these pages are centuries-old words that have shaped cultures and civilizations throughout time. This print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the aesthetic brilliance encapsulated within each word carefully inscribed by Mir Jamal al-Din Husayn Inju. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where knowledge flourished under royal patronage, where language served as a bridge connecting diverse communities across vast distances
