Summary

[edit]
Description
العربية: الإلخان محمود غازان وبجانبه أحد أمرائه يقرآن القُرآن. مُنمنمة من كتاب جامع التواريخ لرشيد الدين الهمذاني. تبريز (؟)، الرُبع الأوَّل من القرن الرابع عشر الميلادي. ألوانٌ مائيَّة على ورق. الحجم الأصلي: 20.3 × 26.7 سم. مكتبة ولاية برلين، القسم الشرقي،، المخطوطة رقم 70، صفحة 8، رقم 1. يظهر بأنَّ هذه خيمة اتُخذت مسجدًا. النقش الظاهر أعلى القوس يسارًا، الذي يبدو أنه مدخل المحراب، نصُّه «الحاكم هو الله» (أو ما شابه). مُلاحظة: النسب المذكورة في المصدر تبدو غير متسقة إلى حد ما مع تلك الموجودة في الصورة.
English: A Mongol prince studying the Koran. Illustration of Rashid-ad-Din's Gami' at-tawarih. Tabriz (?), 1st quarter of 14th century. Water colours on paper. Original size: 20.3 cm x 26.7 cm. Staatsbibliothek Berlin, Orientabteilung, Diez A fol. 70, p. 8 no.1. This seems to be a tent mosque. The inscription above the arch on the left, which is either the entrance or the Mihrab, reads "Allah is the ruler" (or similar). Note: the proportions given in the source seem rather inconsistent with those of the image.
