In the seventeenth century, the Persian city of Isfahan was
a crossroads of international trade and diplomacy. Manuscript paintings
produced within the city’s various cultural, religious, and ethnic groups
reveal the vibrant artistic legacy of the Safavid Empire.

Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty
Museum, Book Arts of Isfahan offers a
fascinating account of the ways in which the artists of Isfahan used their art
to record the life around them and at the same time define their own identities
within a complex society.
