Abstract
In the spring of 2017, the Islamic Art Department, within The Metropolitan Museum of Art (TMMA), acquired an Islamic prayer book, the Dalāʾil al-Khayrāt by Muḥammad bin Sulaymān al-Jazūlī. This paper discusses the findings of a technical study undertaken in the museum’s Sherman Fairchild Center for the Conservation of Works of Art on Paper, focusing on the materials and techniques of one manuscript acquisition specifically, MMA 2017.301. The nature, properties, and characteristics of the text block paper, fiber and pigment identification, chemical compositions, condition assessment, and inherent deterioration mechanisms within the palette are described. The colophon at the end of the manuscript mentions a patron, Sīdī Aḥmad b. Dirham al-Mālikī and identifies its calligrapher as Muḥammad bin Aḥmad bin ʿAbd Al-Raḥmān al-Riyāḥī and confirms its creation date as AH 1035/1625–1626 AD.1
MuḥA mmad Bin Sulaymān al-Jazulī的Dalājjil al-Khayrat 17世纪手稿的技术研究
2017年春天,大都会艺术博物馆(TMMA)的伊斯兰艺术部(Islamic Art Department)获得了一本伊斯兰祈祷书,即Muḥammad bin Sulaymān al-Jazūlī的《达拉伊尔al-Khayrāt》。本文讨论了在博物馆的谢尔曼费尔柴尔德中心进行的一项技术研究的结果,该研究主要关注一份手稿的材料和技术,MMA 2017.301。介绍了文本块纸的性质、性能和特征、纤维和颜料的鉴定、化学成分、状态评估以及色板内固有的劣化机制。手稿末尾的附注提到了一位赞助人,s īd´Aḥmad b. Dirham al-Mālikī,并指出其书法家为Muḥammad bin Aḥmad bin al- Abd Al-Raḥmān al-Riyāḥī,并确认其创作日期为AH 1035/1625-1626 AD.1
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts (JIM) explores the crucial importance of the handwritten book in the Muslim world. It is concerned with the written transmission of knowledge, the numerous varieties of Islamic book culture and the materials and techniques of bookmaking, namely codicology. It also considers activities related to the care and management of Islamic manuscript collections, including cataloguing, conservation and digitization. It is the Journal’s ambition to provide students and scholars, librarians and collectors – in short, everyone who is interested in Islamic manuscripts – with a professional journal and functional platform of their own. It welcomes contributions in English, French and Arabic on codicology, textual studies, manuscript collections and collection care and management. Papers will be peer-reviewed to maintain a high scholarly level. The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts is published on behalf of the Islamic Manuscript Association Limited, an international non-profit organization dedicated to protecting Islamic manuscripts and supporting those who work with them.
