beautifully illuminated manuscripts filled with tiny, intricate pictures,
each a miniature festival of color. In this book, illustrated with 76

renowned Islamic art historian Oleg Grabar introduces Western audiences to
Persian painting, which consists primarily of miniatures illustrating
works of literature but also includes murals and small ceramics decorated
with pictures.”
