Şehnāme-i Nādirī

The Şehnāme-i Nādirī is an Ottoman illustrated manuscript and an anthology completed circa 1620 which relates the conquest of Hotin by Osman II. The text was composed by Mehmed bin Abdülgani bin Emirsah, who wrote under the pen name Nādirī, an Ottoman author and scholar often referred to as Gani-zade Nādirī. The miniatures were executed by Ahmed Naksi, who also illustrated the Diwan-i Nadiri. The figures in the miniatures are highly individualized, and they use perspective in order to give more depth.
