Summary/Abstract: In the 14th century, Tabriz, Shiraz, Baghdad, Herat and Samarkand, which were under the rule of the Timurids, became important art centers in line with the Timurid emphasis on the arts. Timur's grandson Iskander Sultan was one of the most important patrons of the book arts under the Timurids, and during his reign a large number of high-quality illustrated manuscripts were produced in the Shiraz region. The Anthology recorded in BL Add. 27261 is one of the most important works produced in Shiraz during the reign of Iskander Sultan and constitutes the Shiraz style of the Timurid period. The Khamse-i Nizami section of the work, which is the subject of our research, contains 14 miniatures. Through the 14 paintings examined in our study, we will examine how the painters construct the design according to the subject of the story, how they create the perception of depth and how they direct the viewer to the main center of the story. The relationship between front and back in the spaces designed by the painters and the method by which they reveal the important figures in the story will be indicated.
