- Abstract
The article presents a discussion of an illustrated Persian manuscript from a collection of manuscripts preserved in the Austrian library Bibliothek des Joanneums zu Graz in Graz, Austria. The illustrations are described as including devils, Biblical King Solomon, and amulets. The manuscript is no longer in the Austrian collection, the article notes, but there remain sketches of the illustrations on the manuscript which were made by German Islamic scholar J. Hammer-Purgstall in 1852. Further comments are given concerning the possibility that the illustrated manuscript has become part of a collection of mystical literature attributed to a medieval Persian writer.
