Hadīth Bayāḍ wa Riyāḍ ( Arabic: حديث بياض ورياض, "The Story of Bayad and Riyad") is a 13th-century Arabic love story. The main characters of the tale are Bayad, a merchant's son and a foreigner from Damascus; Riyad, a well-educated slave girl in the court of an unnamed Hajib ( vizier or minister) of 'Iraq ( Mesopotamia); and a "Lady" (al-sayyida). [1]
Manuscript
The Hadīth Bayāḍ wa Riyāḍ manuscript, Vatican City, Vatican Library, Codex Vat. Arabo 368, is one of three surviving illustrated manuscripts from medieval al-Andalus (in modern Spain and Portugal). [2] Many non-illustrated Andalusi books do survive, so illustrated manuscripts may have been rare.
