It focuses on three manuscripts and four detached folios (containing over fifty paintings) from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century produced in Iran and Central Asia (with a later addition in Mughal India).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFourteen essays are written by an international team of specialists in art history, Persian literature, statistics, conservation, and conservation science. The first two essays introduce Berenson’s collecting of these art works as an individual and as a trend among other collectors. The rest of the essays explain individual works of art. The Timurid \u003ci\u003eRasaʾil\u003c\/i\u003e and the Safavid manuscripts \u003ci\u003eShahnama\u003c\/i\u003e of Firdawsi and \u003ci\u003eFarhad va Shirin\u003c\/i\u003e of Vahshi are examined in groups of essays ranging from art historical to literary, statistical, and codicological analysis. The detached folios studied as single essays originate from the famous Great Mongol \u003ci\u003eShahnama\u003c\/i\u003e; the 1436 Timurid \u003ci\u003eZafarnama\u003c\/i\u003e of Sharaf al-Din ʿAli Yazdi; a Turkman \u003ci\u003eShahnama\u003c\/i\u003e; and the dispersed \u003ci\u003eImperial Mughal Album\u003c\/i\u003e also known as the Minto, Wantage, and Kevorkian albums.
