Colophon Page from Iskandarnama Manuscript 1482 - 1532

This colophon page from the *Iskandarnama* manuscript is a beautiful example of Persian manuscript illumination. Created by Abu Turab Mun'im al-Din between 1482 and 1532, it features intricate floral patterns and calligraphy in gold, blue, and red. The page includes information about the manuscript's creation, including the scribe's name and the date of completion. This ornate colophon serves as a testament to the artistic skill and cultural significance of manuscript production in 16th-century Persia. *Iskandarnama*, meaning "The Book of Alexander," tells the story of Alexander the Great and his conquests. The manuscript is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
