The Free Man's Companion to the Niceties of Poems (Persian: Mu'nis al-ahrar fi daqa'iq al-ash'ar, often shortened to Mu'nis al-ahrar) is an anthology of poems written in 1340/41 by the Persian poet and anthologist from Isfahan, Jajarmi. The 1341 manuscript was probably made in Isfahan. There is a lot of uncertainty about the identity of the enthroned couple in the frontispiece, knowing that the manuscript was completed in Isfahan in 1341, and a frontispiece typically represent the sponsor or the ruling authority commissioning the work. Most agree that this is "a Mongol royal couple". Around 1341, Isfahan was indeed controlled by the Mongol Chūbanid Shaykh Hasan, whose nominal Ilkhanid Suleiman Khan had suzerainty over the region. Others have suggested that this could be a contemporary depiction of the Ilkhanid empress Sati Beg (enthroned, left), with her husband Arpa Ke'un or her son. For other authors, this could be Abu Ishaq Inju, promoted Governor of Isfahan by the Mongol Chūbanid Shaykh Hasan in 1341, also based on stylistic similarities with the frontispiece of another manuscript probably commissioned by Abu Ishaq, the Shiraz Shahnama of 1352.
