Here is another lovely from @subugoe (8 Cod. MS pers. 14), containing the Šerḥ-i Sabḥat al-abrār, a literary text. This is from the 17th or 18th century. @historikerinnen @histodons @medievodons

@subugoe @historikerinnen @histodons @medievodons My student has just discovered what looks like 18th-century censorship in this manuscript! The miniature of Yusuf and Zuleika having sex on their wedding night has been obscured by a carefully cut, glued and decorated piece of paper.

Open page of a manuscript in Arabic, with a colourful miniature of two people having sex partially hidden by a flap of paper.
