Titled “EASTERN PARCHMENTS,” this article discusses the “Exhibition of Persian and Mogul Illuminated Manuscripts at Fogg Art Museum — The Question of European Influence.” It explores the theory that Greek art may have influenced Persian and Islamic manuscript illumination via Byzantium, and how this aesthetic might have later traveled westward to influence European Renaissance art.
