The Shahname (The Book of Kings) was written by Firdawsi between 977 and 1010. Later in time a number of sumptuous illustrated copies were edited, many of them broken up in sheets being sold out there during the 20th century, some reaching a price over 9000 pounds. So it seems plausible that the discussed illustration was painted by a miniaturist of the so called Persian school during the 14th century; being currently exhibited in the Louvre. So much for the early version of the Muslim saber |
