Celestial Horoscope of Prince Iskandar Sultan

Timurid Persian Zodiac Manuscript - Shiraz, 1411
Islamic Astronomical Art Reproduction

This artwork is a refined reproduction inspired by the celebrated Horoscope of Prince Iskandar Sultan, originally created in Shiraz, Iran, in 1411 during the Timurid period. The original manuscript records the precise celestial configuration at the moment of Iskandar Sultan’s birth on April 25, 1384, reflecting the medieval Islamic synthesis of astrology, astronomy, and sacred cosmology.

Prince Iskandar Sultan (d. 1415), grandson of Timur (Tamerlane) and ruler of the province of Fars, was renowned for his patronage of scholars, astronomers, and artists. His court workshop (kitabkhana) brought together master illuminators, calligraphers, gilders, paper-makers, and astronomers - among them Imad al-Din Mahmud al-Kashi - resulting in one of the most exquisite surviving examples of Timurid manuscript culture.

The composition unfolds as a cosmic diagram of remarkable harmony: zodiac signs, planetary spheres, celestial figures, and flowing inscriptions arranged in perfect balance. More than a scientific document, the image serves as a visual meditation on order, destiny, and the divine structure of the universe.

This reproduces faithfully preserves the visual language of the original manuscript, allowing contemporary collectors to experience a rare and significant work of Islamic scientific and artistic heritage.
