Title:
Bahram Gur Listens to the Tale of the Tartar Princess of the Green Pavilion
Creator:
Shaykhi Jan al-Hafiz al-Salmasi
Description:
The manuscript narrates a prince’s spiritual progression as he hears seven tales of wisdom told on successive nights by his seven would-be brides. Each bride is lodged beneath a pavilion the color of which corresponds to that of her dominant planet. Here Barham Gur visits the Green Pavilion of Princess Pari Naz, who is identified with the moon (believed to be a planet in the fifteenth century).
