Summary: The text discusses various undated dispersed manuscripts of the 15th century, focusing on a miscellany and the Shah-nameh manuscript. The manuscripts exhibit stylistic and iconographic features influenced by Indian origin, with the inclusion of large groups of figures in serried rows reflecting an Indian principle of multiplicity. The manuscript displays flat compositions and distinct features like straight-rowed cramped courtiers, limited feeling for air, and high horizon lines, deviating from the Persian influences of asymmetrical groupings. The narrative explores miniatures illustrating scenes from various Jatakas, emphasizing realism and humanism in sculpture styles, including the Colanadu style prevalent during the Chola period. The manuscript paintings represent a distinctive phase of East Indian manuscript painting, characterized by accomplished artistic elements and spiritualized expressions, highlighting the regional styles and aesthetic inclinations of the period.
