This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions. Celebrating the popular Persian and Turkish renderings of the tale, the display features a modest yet striking selection from the library’s collections, centered on richly illuminated manuscripts from the Islamic Manuscripts Collection.

The exhibit is offered in conjunction with the Islamic Studies Program event "Layla and Majnun: From the page to the stage" and with the UMS performance of Layla and Majnun.
