Diwan-i Nadiri ("Collected works of Nadir", TSMK, H. 819) is an Ottoman illustrated manuscript and an anthology completed circa 1605.[2] This poem anthology was authored by Mehmed bin Abdülgani bin Emirsah, whose pseudonym was "Nadiri“.[1] The miniatures were executed by Ahmed Naksi, who also illustrated the Shahname-i Nadiri (Topkapi Palace Museum, H. 1124) which relates the conquest of Hotin by Osman II. The figures in the miniatures are highly individualized, and they use perspective in order to give more depth.[2]
