介绍（中）	Futuh al-Haramayn包括对麦加和麦地那两个穆斯林圣地的诗意描述。它旨在解释所有穆斯林一生中必须完成一次朝圣（朝觐）的仪式。该文本由Muhi al-Din Lari撰写，于1505-6年在印度完成，之后多次复制。Futuh通常配有华丽的插图，描述了朝圣期间或之后要参观的重要景点。它在十六和十七世纪很受欢迎，当时它主要在奥斯曼帝国从麦加到伊斯坦布尔，以及在中亚和印度被复制。遗址和建筑物的插图通常从鸟瞰图显示。符号和其他细节通常标有铭文，使读者能够识别先知的重要奇迹和其他事件发生的地点。风格和质量存在差异。在十六世纪，大多数副本都是在麦加制作的。这个例子是被认为是在布哈拉制作的第一批副本之一。
介绍（英）	The Futuh al-Haramayn consists of a poetic description of the two holy Muslim sites of Mecca and Medina. It was intended to explain the rituals of the pilgrimage (hajj) all Muslims must complete once during their lifetime. The text was composed by Muhi al-Din Lari, completed in India in 1505–6, and copied many times afterwards. Often lavishly illustrated, the Futuh describes important sites to be visited during or after the pilgrimage. It was popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when it was mainly copied in the Ottoman realm from Mecca to Istanbul, and also in Central Asia and India. Illustrations of sites and buildings are commonly shown from a bird’s-eye view. Symbols and other details often labeled with inscriptions, enable the reader to identify sites where important miracles of the Prophet and other events took place. Differences in style and quality exist. In the sixteenth century most copies were made in Mecca. This example is one of the first copies thought to have been made in Bukhara.
