The well-known “Petersburg Album” kept in the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts (shelf-number E-14) is not the only muraqqaʿ in the St. Petersburg collections. Thus, the National Library of Russia house five Iranian albums with calligraphic samples and miniatures, of which one (Dorn 489) is outstanding due to both its contents and its provenance. In the present article we summarize the results of previously conducted research of the miniatures and calligraphy in the album that date from the 15th–18th centuries, while adding some codicological remarks on the volume and its covers. In addition, the as yet unclear history of the acquisition of this real masterpiece of art is unraveled and presented.

俄罗斯国家图书馆muraqqaʿ-相册Dorn 489及其来历

东方手稿研究所保存的着名“ Petersburg Album”（编号E-14）不是圣彼得堡收藏中唯一的muraqqaʿ。因此，俄罗斯国家图书馆藏有五本伊朗书法专辑和微型相册，其中一本（Dorn 489）由于其内容和出处而非常出色。在本文中，我们总结了先前对15至18世纪专辑中的缩影和书法进行的研究的结果，同时在该书的册子及其封面上添加了一些注释性的注释。此外，还揭示并介绍了有关获得这一真正艺术杰作的尚不清楚的历史。
