Khalili Collection of Islamic Art
Astrolabe in the Khalili Collection
- ... that the Khalili Collection of Islamic Art includes an exceptionally large 17th century astrolabe (pictured) commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan? "[T]he astrolabe was produced between 1648 and 1658 [...] This astrolabe is now with the Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art at London [...] It is amazing that, in spite of the huge dimensions of the astrolabe, all the lines, arcs and circles are flawlessly engraved [...]. Finally, it will be shown that the astrolabe was created for no less an exalted personage than Shah Jahan himself." [1]

This article is new enough and long enough; the original text was copied from the article Khalili Collections (3936 B) and this needs to be five-times expanded, and in fact it has been. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues (although Earwig produced a 90.4% likelihood of violation). The image is appropriately licensed and a QPQ has been done. The outstanding issue is with the tags. Ping me when the issues have been addressed, and I can complete the review.
