EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite illustration of "Ms E-7 fol. 29b The Constellations of Sagittarius and Capricorn" from the renowned manuscript, "The Wonders of the Creation and the Curiosities of Existence" by Zakariya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini. Created by an Islamic School in the 14th century, this masterpiece measures 0.40 x 0.29 cm and is currently housed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia. Intricately painted with gouache on paper, this artwork depicts the constellations of Sagittarius and Capricorn along with their corresponding zodiac signs - Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer. It beautifully captures a moment in time when astrology and astronomy intertwined to unravel celestial mysteries. Zakariya al-Qazwini, a Persian physician, cosmographer, astronomer, and geographer who resided in Baghdad during his lifetime (1203-83), authored a popular cosmography written in Arabic titled "Les Merveilles de la creation et curiosites de l existence". This influential work was later translated into Turkish and Persian languages due to its widespread popularity. Immerse yourself in this historical treasure as you observe a figure kneeling before an intricate text while adorned with a turban that symbolizes wisdom. A ship gracefully sails across cosmic waters below them – representing humanity's eternal fascination with both earthly wonders and heavenly realms. As we gaze
