The Illuminated Rumi

A fabulous illustrated manuscript in the Walters Museum, created in Bahrat, India around AD 1663. The text is the Persian poems of Jalal al-Din Rumi, known as the Masnavi-i ma 'navi. The entire manuscript is online in a zoomable form. Rumi: "Let the beauty of what you love be what you do."
