Abstract
This article presents a set of four multitext manuscripts made in Tabriz during the reign of the Safavid Shāh Sulaymān (r. 1666–1694). The texts are organized around one core abstruse text (lughuz) penned by the patron of the work, the vizier of Azarbayjan and mustawfī al-mamālik, Ẓahīr al-Dīn Ibrāhīm (d. 1102/1690). Analysis of these manuscripts, copied successively over a period of 12 years by the same hand, reveals the endeavours of the patron and the copyist to produce an artefact that was increasingly refined in terms of layout. The Sackler manuscript is the most recent and also the most accomplished. The amount of time and money put into this project is unusual for a non-royal patron. This editorial project might be linked to Ẓahīr al-Dīn’s political ambitions to find a position or to restore his reputation at the royal court at Isfahan.
本文介绍了萨法维王朝(r. 1666-1694)统治时期在大不里士制作的一套四份多文本手稿Shāh Sulaymān。这些文本围绕着一个核心的深奥文本(lughuz)进行组织,该文本由作品的赞助人,Azarbayjan的维齐尔和mustawf ' al-mamālik, Ẓahīr al- d n Ibrāhīm (d. 1102/1690)撰写。对这些手稿的分析,揭示了赞助人和抄写员在12年的时间里连续抄写的努力,以生产一个在布局方面日益完善的人工制品。萨克勒的手稿是最新的,也是最完整的。这个项目投入的时间和金钱对于一个非王室赞助人来说是不寻常的。这个编辑项目可能与Ẓahīr al- d n的政治野心有关,他想在伊斯法罕的王室中找到一个职位或恢复他的声誉。
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.
