Five poems (quintet), King Solomon and two demons, Walters Manuscript W.624, fol. 94b detail

This is a deluxe copy of the Quintet (Khamsah) of AmÄ«r Khusraw DihlavÄ« (d.725 AH /1325 CE). Although now incomplete, this manuscript was penned in nastaÊ¿lÄ«q script by the famous late 16th century Mughal calligrapher Muá¸¥ammad á¸¤usayn ZarrÄ«n Qalam al-KashmÄ«rÄ« and decorated by a number of illuminators and painters. Its illustrations are signed by eleven painters: LaÊ¿l (LÄl), ManÅ«har, SÄnwalah, Farrukh, AlÄ«qulÄ«, DharamdÄs, Narsing, JagannÄth, MiskÄ«nÄ, Mukund, and SÅ«rdÄs GujarÄtÄ«.

The codex has beautifully decorated borders with vegetal, bird, animal motifs and human figures. The figures are portrayed in various traditional activities such as praying, reading and hunting.

Recognizing the dangers of idleness, the wise King Solomon consigns them to a life of futile activity: filling the sea with sand and the desert with water.
