Holy Face, Holy Book
The present article focuses on the employment of three important names of the Qur’ān – Qur’ān, Muṣḥaf, and Lawḥ Maḥfūẓ – in the depiction of the face in Classical Azeri poetry, a unique tradition represented by poets such as ‘Imāduddīn Nesīmī (d.820/1417–18), Jahān Shāh Ḥaqīqī (d. 871/1467), Ni‘matullāh Kishwarī (15th–16th centuries), Shāh Ismā‘īl Khaṭā’ī (d. 930/1524), Ḥabībī (15th century), and Muḥammad Fuḍūlī (d. 963/1556).
