Description

In Lives of the Prophets Mohamad Reza Ghiasian analyses the images of the two extant illustrated copies of Hafiz-i Abrus Majma al-tawarikh, which were produced for the Timurid ruler Shahrukh (r. 14051447). Review "Through a detailed reading of both text and image, Lives of the Prophets: The Illustrations to Hafiz-i Abru's "Assembly of Chronicles" sets the standard for the codicologically-driven study of Persian illustrated manuscripts." - Yuka Kadoi, University of Vienna, in: Abstracta Iranica 40-41 (2019) "This tightly conceived and clearly written study is, as Charles Melville states in the preface (p. x), a masterpiece of "forensic detective work" in unraveling the complex history of Hafiz-i Abru's universal chronicle. It will readily interest art historians who work on Iran and its neighbors, from Mongol times onwards. [...] the author's careful study has much information that will also interest historian and historiographers." - Sheila Blair, Boston College, in: Iranian Studies (2019) About the Author Mohamad Reza Ghiasian holds a PhD in Islamic Art and Archaeology from the University of Bamberg and is currently Assistant Professor of Islamic Art at the University of Kashan.
