Product description
Abount the Book: "One of the greats of Hindi literature, the Chandayan is an epic, presented here in English translation along with 530 famous paintings used to illustrate it in the sultanate period. The 16-th century historian Badayuni tells us that the Chandayan was selected for religious instruction by the Sufi, maulana Daud in the Tughlaq period. A racy yarn recounting the romance Lorik and Chanda, it was, equally, an allegory about Ishq-love for the Divine. Of singular importance in the history of Indian art, the Chandogan's illustrations inform us about the diversity of painting traditions before the Mughals. Composed in Hindavi (using the Old Hindi dialect of Jaunpuri Avadhi), the poem points to how the ""vernacular"" is an invaluable source of social history and literature, It allows us to learn about the use of the Perso-Arabic script in India and the impact of writing on language. The manuscripts and story also reveal much about the evolution of regional identities and the shifting nature of patronage in the Hindi heartland between the late 14th and the early 16th centuries."
