Solyman the Magnificent, fourth Emperor of the Turks, succeeded to the throne at
Solyman the Magnificent, fourth Emperor of the Turks, succeeded to the throne at age 28 on the death of his father Selim I in 1520. He died on 4th September 1566. He was described as of stature tall, of feature slender, long necked, his colour pale and wan, his nose long and hooked, of nature ambitious and bountifull, more faithfull of his word and promise than were for most part the Mahometan Kings his progenitors. This portrait is taken from the rare manuscript Kiyafet-ul-Insaniyyeh (personal descriptions of the Osmanli Sultans) in the Oriental Department of the British Museum. This manuscript was composed in A.H. 997 (A.D. 1589) by Lukman Shahnameji (royal poet annalist), and illustrated with portraits after contemporary originals.
