Publisher's Synopsis

Cet ouvrage explore une période charnière de l'histoire du livre islamique et iranien: la période mongole envisagée dans le long terme, sous les dynasties ilkhanide et djalayiride. Il étudie la question de la maturation de la calligraphie arabe classique à travers la vie et l'oeuvre de Yaqut al-Musta?simi qui sont, pour la première fois, soumises à une analyse systématique, mettant en avant l'importance de son école et des maîtres bagdadiens pour les arts du livre des décennies suivantes. L'ouvrage se penche aussi sur les manuscrits des Ilkhans musulmans et du vizir Rashid al-Din dans le cadre de la problématique de la naissance de la kitabkhanah et de l'affirmation du statut des calligraphes et des peintres sous les derniers Ilkhanides et les Djalayirides. This book explores a pivotal period in the history of the book in the Islamic world and Iran, i.e. the Mongol period viewed in a long-term perspective, under the Ilkhanid and the Djalayirid dynasties. It examines the issue of the maturation of classical Arabic calligraphy through the life and work of Yaqut al-Musta?simi, which are for the first time subjected to a systematic analysis, highlighting the importance of his school and the Baghdadi masters for the arts of the book of the following decades. The study also looks at the manuscripts of the Muslim Ilkhans and the Vizier Rashid al-Din in the context of the birth of the kitabkhanah and the rise in the status of calligraphers and painters under the last Ilkhanids and the Djalayirids.
