The reproductions in this book are excellent, better than any other i have. But they can't touch the real thing. I saw this exhibit. It was amazing. If you ever get a chance to see any Persian illuminations in person, don't miss your chance. If you don't have the opportunity, i highly recommend this book. From the Mongols to the Moghuls and beyond. Besides the fine reproductions, the text is very elucidating, and there are comparisons of motifs and style, as well as a chapter on Western influence. The BEST book i've seen on the topic.… (altro)
