دیوان حافظ — نسخه خطی موزه والترز، صفحه آغازین
Incipit page with an illuminated headpiece from a Safavid-era (16th-century AD / 10th-century AH) manuscript of the Divān of Hāfez-e Shirāzī, manuscript W.632, held by the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland (accession no. W.632.2B). Ink and pigments on laid Persian paper, 20 x 11 cm. Digitized and released to Wikimedia Commons by the Walters Art Museum under a public domain mark as part of its open-content program. This is a genuine digitized facsimile page image, distinct from both the app's Library-of-Congress-sourced authority-only record (slug: divan-of-hafez-authority-record, no image) and its Malek National Library and Museum digitized record (slug: divan-e-hafez-malek-manuscript-4926) — three separate manuscripts/institutions, never conflated.
