Information on this construction is contained in a letter written by the city’s metropolitan, John Apokaukos, who maintained an adversarial rapport with him. The soufa is described as a rectangular structure with two levels. In the higher one, reserved for Constantine and his retinue, a throne shaped as an episcopal throne was placed. Conversely, the lower level accommodated more humble guests who could only listen to him thundering like Salmoneus from an artificial sky. This architectural venture served as a symbolic manifestation of Constantine’s secular authority, deliberately positioned in contrast to the ecclesiastical figure of the bishop. Noteworthy is Constantine’s deliberate appropriation of ideas, forms, and language acquired during his sojourn in Asia Minor several years before. The resulting structure stands as a singular manifestation, representing a distinctive historical juncture influenced by the personality of Constantine Komnenodoukas, wherein elements of both Byzantine and Islamic art are combined.","PeriodicalId":517253,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Studies","volume":"48 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139896338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The text, is an original poetic transposition of the Hindu religious landscape of Vārāṇasī in Persian verse, conjuring classical and post-classical Persian poetic conventions on the non-Islamic sphere and Sanskrit models such as the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, the Kāśīrahasya or other māhātmyas, and containing an impressive amount of descriptions (sometimes very technical) of idols, temples, pilgrimages, devotees, ascetics, the Ganges and so on. In view of the extraordinary value of the document (from the historical as well as from the literary side) the main aim of the article is not only to discuss the complex socio-cultural entanglements of the treatment of “idolatry” by a late eighteenth-century Hindu poet of Persian, but also, at the same time, to present, as far as I know for the first time, an important Persian document on early modern Vārāṇasī hitherto completely ignored by scholars. The study of the text against the background of contemporary trends in Persian poetry, in South Asia as well as in Iran, will, moreover, provide us with a proper set of interpretative tools for reading what we should begin to call the Hindu Persian literature of the eighteenth century.","PeriodicalId":517253,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139896368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
