Starting from the fifteenth century, richly illustrated manuscripts written in Perso- Arabic scripts began to proliferate in north-central India. In some manuscripts, paintings appeared as frequently as in every other folio. I investigate the rise to prominence of the visual through a close study of the Ṭūá¹Ä«nÄma manuscript currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. My argument is that this phenomenon can be explained by the growth of elite urban communities in north-central India. These communities, I argue, invested in the visual medium to learn more about and carefully modulate adab (intertwined aesthetic, ethical, and political codes of the Persianate world).
