520    "The subject of this book is the so-called London Qazvīnī,
       an early 14th-century illustrated Arabic copy of al-
       Qazvīnī's The Wonders of Creation and the Oddities of 
       Existing Things, which was acquired by the British Library
       in 1983 (Or. 14140). As is commonly the case for copies of
       this text, the London Qazvīnī is lavishly illustrated, 
       with 368 extant paintings out of the estimated original 
       ca. 520. Its large format, ambitious illustrative cycle 
       and the fine quality of many of the illustrations suggest 
       that the atelier where it was produced must have been well
       -established and able to attract craftsmen from different 
       parts of the Ilkhanid area. It also suggests that its 
       patron was wealthy and curious about scientific, 
       encyclopedic and 'ajā'ib literature, and keen to 
       experiment with the illustration of new texts like this 
       work, which had been composed by the author only two or 
       three decades earlier. The only centre that was capable of
       gathering such artistic influences ranging from Anatolia 
       to Mesopotamia appears to have been Mosul. The London 
       Qazvīnī is an important newly surfaced document for the 
       study of early illustrated Arabic copies of this text, 
       representing the second earliest known surviving 
       manuscript, as well as for the study of Ilkhanid painting.
       In a single and unique manuscript are gathered earlier 
       Mesopotamian painting traditions, North Jaziran-Seljuq 
       elements, Anatolian inspirations, the latest changes 
       brought about after the advent of the Mongols, and a 
       number of illustrations of extraordinary subjects which 
       escape a proper classification."--Publisher's website
