IN THE MARGIN

Dīvān-i Kalīm

An illuminated opening

Looking at the page

An illuminated heading above columns of Persian verse, with generous margins around the writing.

The illuminated heading draws the eye toward the verse; the surrounding space gives the writing room to breathe. Here, the margin invites attention through the composition of the page. It offers a visual companion to the practice of annotation explored in In the margin.
