یادداشتها
In the second half of the sixteenth century especially,Shirazwas an important hub for the creation of large-format luxury manuscripts of theQur’an, some of which were intended for export to the Ottoman Empire. This pair of facing pages from the closing section of a dispersed manuscript includes thedu‘a al-khatm, or prayer said at the conclusion of a reading of theQur’an; it is preceded by the closing verses of theQur’an, and followed by afalnama, (a Persian versified form of divination). The beautiful decoration framing the goldcalligraphyof the khatm prayer epitomizes theShirazstyle of illumination in its colorful exuberance. The recto of the right-hand page is comprised ofSuras113-114 indicating that the full text must have similarly composed of large lines of bluemuhaqqaqand goldthuluthalternating with blocks of smallernaskhin black on gold-sprinkled paper, framed by panels of scrolling floral illumination, thesuraheadings in white on gold and polychrome illuminated panels, marginal roundels marking various points in the text. Numerous similarly decorated manuscripts of theQur’anare preserved in Istanbul collections, demonstrating a distinct Turkish affinity for theShirazstyle.
