What is the total number of miniatures that adorn the Nujum al-Ulum encyclopaedia, paintings from Bijapur?

876

Answer: 876

Paintings from Bijapur in the sixteenth century have a richly illustrated encyclopaedia known as the Nujum al-Ulum dated 1570. Among the 876 miniatures, which adorn this remarkable little volume, many illustrate weapons and utensils, while others the constellations. The women are shown in south Indian dress, tall and slender as those in the Ragamala paintings.
