  • Notes on the Aesthetics of Medieval Islamic Art—and of Medieval Persian Painting

    Open AccessRobert HillenbrandARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…2022Referencias: 3

    The article sets the discussion of Islamic art within the very animated discussions of the last few decades by many prominent scholars that have sought to pinpoint its nature and that have highlighted the twin dangers of over-generalisation and too narrow a focus. Given that the parameters of the discussion have undergone radical change, and the need to revise traditional paradigms, the article confines itself to Islamic art in the medieval perio…

  • Ancient Iranian Kings in the World History of Rashid Al-Din

    Carole Hillenbrand, Robert HillenbrandARTICLEIran2018Citada por: 2Referencias: 1

    This article presents the first full English translation of the Arabic text of that portion of Rashid al-Din’s Jami’ al-Tawarikh (“World History”) which deals with five of the earliest Pishdadian or mythical kings of Iran. This text has a particular importance in that it dates from the lifetime of the author. Its content is distinctively different from that of the much longer and better-known narrative of Firdawsi that deals with these monarchs. …

  • Holy Figures Portrayed in the Edinburgh Fragment of Rashīd al-Dīn’s World History

    Open AccessRobert HillenbrandARTICLEIranian Studies2017Citada por: 3Referencias: 1

    This paper has two purposes. One is to look carefully at the way that the stories of Sālih and Samson are told in the Edinburgh fragment of Rashīd al-Dīn’s World History and its accompanying illustrations, and the messages that these convey. The second is to explore the interplay of text and image in what might be termed “the Moses cycle” and to consider the motivation for the unusual textual and pictorial emphasis on Moses. Several aspects of th…

  • Exploring a Neglected Masterpiece

    Open AccessRobert HillenbrandARTICLEIranian Studies2010Citada por: 3Referencias: 4

    The paper begins by summarizing the basic information about the Shahnama produced in Herat for the Timurid prince Baysunghur, son of Shah Rukh, in 833/1430, one of the three iconic illustrated versions of Firdausi's poem in Persian painting. It then considers in turn the originality of this manuscript, its iconographic program and the intervals at which the images are placed within the text. The themes of enthronement and combat or battle are exp…
