| Hafiz, Diwan, dedicated to the library of Pir Budaq, copied by Shaykh Mahmud Pir Budaqi, Baghdad, dated 1462 AD |
The Divan’s whereabouts remained a mystery until last year, when Dutch art crime investigator Arthur Brand — sometimes referred to as “the Indiana Jones of the art world” — tracked it down.
The book is now coming up at Sotheby’s Arts of the Islamic World and India sale in London on April 1, where it carries an estimate of £80,000 to 120,000 (~$98,522 to $14,7783).
