Inspired by the 17th-century binding that originally housed the Bustan, a seminal work by Persian author Saadi (1210 1291), this design beautifully mirrors the contents of the original volume.The Bustan (known in English as The Orchard) is one of Saadi s two best-known works. Written entirely in verse, the stories are rich in moral thought and principles. The intricate botanical patterns of this design beautifully reflect the fruits of Saadi s wisdom.
