Produced around the time of the Islamic millennium (1000AH/1561-62AD) a
group of illustrations in the Falnama auguries focuses on eschatological themes, such as signs of the Apocalypse and the Judgment Day. It is likely that the artists portrayed a
contemporary perception of what the future would hold and what was expected to happen. Among the copies of the Falnama, the Topkapı Persian Falnama (TSM H.1702) is unique for its explicit relationship between the Qur’an and the manuscript’s images.
