A richly illustrated scholarly study of the manuscript and book arts produced in Isfahan during the Safavid period. Taylor examines Armenian manuscript illuminations that reflect medieval traditions, European woodcuts that were imported to the city, and the Jewish illustrative tradition — a testament to Isfahan's cosmopolitan character in the seventeenth century. Essential reading for anyone interested in the artistic heritage of the Safavid capital.
