EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a book on Islamic law, traditions, and Muslim obligations from Egypt's Mamluk period. Created in the 15th century by Muhammad b. Hamdan al-Adhru i al-Shafi i, this exquisite manuscript measures 30.5x21.3 cm and is currently housed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The intricate details of this artwork are brought to life through ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors used in its illumination make it truly mesmerizing to behold. As we explore this image further, we gain insight into the rich religious heritage of Islam depicted within these pages. This ancient manuscript serves as a testament to the profound influence that Islamic law has had on society throughout history. Through its illustrations and calligraphy, this book offers an invaluable glimpse into the customs and practices followed by Muslims during that era. It stands as a testament to their devotion towards fulfilling their religious obligations. Preserved for centuries with utmost care, this artifact now resides within the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery thanks to generous contributions from Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds. By capturing this moment through photography, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance embedded within each page of this extraordinary work of art.
