Colophon page from "Makhzan al-asrar" by Haydar Khwarazmi. This colophon, which fits into a trinagle, following the last two verse of the text, reads: “Copied by the humble and poor and sinful slave Imad al-Mulk al-Hasani, may God forgive his sins and cover his shortcomings, in the year 1023.” A painting by the celebrated Safavid artist Riza-i Abbasi occupies the rest of the space.Depicting an old man offering a flower to a youth, the image bears no direct relation to the text. Riza-i Abbasi’s signature appears in minute letters in the center of the image. Nastaliq script. Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. Isfahan, dated 1614 (1023 AH).
