Some of the world's most magnificent books were produced in Persian-speaking lands in the 16th century, where papermakers, calligraphers, painters, illustrators, and binders collaborated to create sublime works of art. One such masterpiece is Jami's Baharistan, made at Bukhara in 1551, a copy of which is in the collection of the MIA.
