The Majalis al-Ushshaq was written in the early 16th century by Kamal al-Din Gazurgahi who was appointed by Sultan Husayn Bayqara as Sheikh of the shrine of 'Abdullah Ansari, the subject of our illustration. The Baburnama written by the Mughal Emperor Babur devotes a section to discussing Kamal al-Din Gazurgahi and the text (translated by Wheeler M. Thackston, New York & London, 1996, p.220).
