Remarks

The scholar Hassan al-Jabarti possessed a library containing notable illustrated manuscripts from the Persian and Arabic traditions, specifically mentioning works like 'Shahnameh' and 'Kalila wa Dimna' (p. 622). These manuscripts were characterized by 'beautifully crafted paintings' (Tasawir) and 'strange forms,' highlighting the diverse use of pigments for figurative and decorative illumination in Cairo's intellectual circles during the 18th century.
