The E28 Album is composed of five stray sheets from an unknown Persian
manuscript datable by circumstantial evidence to the 17th–18th cc. The texts contained
therein are for the most parts accounts pertaining to the activities of the Sufi fraternities
in Central Asia in the period from the 11th to the 15th c. The five miniature paintings
illustrate the stories told.
The 48th Annual Session of Saint Petersburg Arabists will be held at the IOM RAS on April 6 and April 8, 2026. The conference program is now available.
