Ottoman Levni’s Book of Festivities is just so great, and right up my street (very 1001 Nights somehow). Watch out for much of Levni's Turkish miniatures incorporated into upcoming TALES classes, and look out for those fancy hats! The TALES characters will also comprise Levni’s guilds, and I’ll incorporate the Indo-Persian miniatures we know and love into these figures as well. As usual, I’ll try to be as comprehensive, inclusive and rounded as possible.
Download below, I've shot each facsimile image so you can have the whole thing, as promised! Watch out for Tahmasp Shahnameh, coming in future (when I get some time).
I'll read all the essays myself and share what I've learned from my research in class too about Levni!
With much grateful thanks to Merve Bilgel for the inspiration and to Susan Dobrian for the encouragement and all love to you both!
Thank you for this amazing resource, Vaishali and for your time to copy it all!
