Derviş Ali Talibzade was a Sufi calligrapher from Baghdad. In this Dela’ilü’l-Hayrat that he copied, the three spreads on fols. 16v-19r are each decorated with bouquets of pink roses and buds with green leaves inside a gold and cherry coloured frame. In the centre of the large rose blossoms, the hilyes of Muhammad (fols. 16v-17r), Ebubekir (fol.17v), Ömer (fol. 18r), Osman (fol. 18v) and Ali (fol. 19r) are written in a naskh hand. The rose is the symbol of the Kadiri Sufi order. It is uncommon for the hilyes of Muhammad and the four caliphs to be written on images of roses, as in this skilfully executed example.Reference: Tanındı, Z., Harmony of Line and Colour, Illuminated Manuscripts Documents and Calligraphy in the Sadberk Hanım Museum Collection, Sadberk Hanım Museum Publication, İstanbul 2019, pp. 238,239.
