<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 11676620, member: 8267&quot;]The Shahnameh is a classic of Persian literature, the equivalent of Homer&#039;s epics in the European tradition, or the Ramayana in the Hindu tradition. There have been a great many manuscript versions produced since the poem was written in the 10th century. The nastaliq form of calligraphy also has a long history of use, up to the present day. So your manuscript page is not necessarily rare, and its value would probably depend on when it was actually made.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can search sites such as liveauctioneers for auction results for &quot;Persian manuscript illumination&quot; to get an idea of what similar pages have sold for. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahnameh" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahnameh" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahnameh</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nastaliq" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nastaliq" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nastaliq</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=Persian%20manuscript%20illumination&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=Persian%20manuscript%20illumination&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=Persian manuscript illumination&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
