Rudaki is viewed as the first great literary genius of the Modern Persian language and is considered the founder of Classical Persian literature. He was the court poet to the Samanid ruler Nasr II (r. 914-43 AD) in Bukhara, although he eventually fell out of favour. This ghasayed is a collection of poems he composed to celebrate and commemorate the Bukharan rulers.
This manuscript was commissioned by Hasan 'Ali Khan Karvosi, vizier and ambassador of Iran in France during the reign of Nasir al-Din Shah.
