________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir 45 marginal illustrations. The entire manuscript is profusely painted all over. Narrow margins on the top and bottom of the folios have a variety of hunting scenes showing Persian influence. The left and the right vertical areas have stylized representations of unique tree types, never to be seen or visualised elsewhere. It has boats, seascapes, landscapes, which are second to none in the whole range of jain miniature painting of the Sultanate period. (Fig 1. ). Although the above Ms. belongs to a Jain religious subject its illustrations have a marked Persian influence which is accepted all over the world. There are a few such Mss. that we know of but the above example is undoubtably the best of the period that one can be proud of. 19 kil! Fig 1 For Private and Personal Use OnlyPage Navigation
