Description

Explore the profound connection between text and imagery in the Shahnama, the celebrated Persian national epic. Published by Routledge, this work provides the first comprehensive examination of how the poetry of Firdausi of Tus works alongside its famous illustrations. The Shahnama stands as one of the longest poems ever composed, detailing the history of Iran from the dawn of time through the seventh-century Muslim Arab conquests. Because no other Persian text has been so frequently or lavishly illustrated, this book offers a unique window into the visual history of the epic. Readers will find fresh insights through various art-historical approaches, making it a significant resource for students and scholars of Persian literature and art. Whether you are researching the history of Iran or the evolution of manuscript illumination, this volume provides a deep look into one of the most important cultural treasures in history.
