Download or read book Islamic Manuscripts of Late Medieval Rum 1270s 1370s written by Jackson Cailah Jackson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the Mongol invasions in the mid-13th century and the rise of the Ottomans in the late 14th century, the Lands of Rum were marked by instability and conflict. Despite this, a rich body of illuminated manuscripts from the period survives, explored here in this extensively illustrated volume. Meticulously analysing 15 beautifully decorated Arabic and Persian manuscripts, including Qur'ans, mirrors-for-princes, historical chronicles and Sufi works, Cailah Jackson traces the development of calligraphy and illumination in late medieval Anatolia. She shows that the central Anatolian city of Konya, in particular, was a dynamic centre of artistic activity and that local Turcoman princes, Seljuk bureaucrats and Mevlevi dervishes all played important roles in manuscript production and patronage.

Book excerpt: Les arts de l'Islam ne sont pas les arts d'une nation ni ceux d'un peuple, mais ceux d'une religion, l'Islam. Partis d'Arabie, ses croyants prosélytes surent conquérir, en quelques siècles, un territoire allant de l'océan Atlantique à l'océan Indien. Multiculturel et pluriethnique, cet art polymorphe et hautement spirituel, au sein duquel toute représentation de l'homme et de la divinité était exclue, développa des canons et des motifs riches et variés, d'une grande valeur décorative. Minutieux et inventifs, ses artistes adaptèrent leurs croyances en créant des chefs-d'oeuvre monumentaux tels la mosquée Al-Aqsa, à Jérusalem, le Taj Mahal, à Agra, ou l'Alhambra à Grenade, architectures dans lesquelles se retrouve la stylisation des motifs de la céramique musulmane. Vivant et coloré, l'art de l'Islam est le miroir de la richesse de ces peuples, dont le dénominateur commun est la croyance en une seule et même vérité : celle de l'absolue nécessité de créer des oeuvres dont la beauté doit égaler leur respect envers Dieu.
