ABSTRACT

Shahnameh-ye Davari, dating to 1272 (1856) is one of the last Shahnamehs, copied and illustrated in the traditional style. It is kept at the Reza Abbasi Museum in Tehran under accession number 599. It is a sumptuously decorated manuscript on a par with courtly productions and has sixty-eight illustrations, yet it is not a commissioned work. It was created by Mohammad ibn Vesal (1822–1865), with the pen name Davari, a poet/calligrapher/illustrator/illuminator of little or no means and perhaps as an ode to a dying art. This article attempts to introduce the manuscript, placing it within the context of the artistic history of Qajar Iran (1789–1925).

摘要

Shahnameh-ye Davari，可追溯到 1272 年（1856 年），是最后的Shahnamehs之一，以传统风格复制和说明。它保存在德黑兰的 Reza Abbasi 博物馆，入藏号为 599。它是一份装饰华丽的手稿，与宫廷作品相当，有 68 幅插图，但它不是委托作品。它由 Mohammad ibn Vesal（1822-1865 年）创作，笔名 Davari，是一位诗人/书法家/插画家/照明师，几乎没有收入，也许是对垂死艺术的颂歌。本文试图介绍手稿，并将其置于卡扎尔伊朗（1789-1925）艺术史的背景下。
