INTERPRETATION OF THE RELIGIOUS SUBJECT IN THE MINIATURE OF “BOSTAN” MANUSCRIPT BY SAADI SHIRAZI
Abstract
The article reflects the problem of depicting religious subjects in medieval Oriental manuscripts and miniatures. Masters of book art originally decorated religious books with symbolic patterns and gilding. Relief decorations are later replaced by miniature images. In miniatures devoted to literature, it is possible to identify subjects related to religious themes — prophets, saints, angels, etc. The article also contains a full analysis of the plot and general thoughts of one of the miniatures on a similar topic, the manuscript of Saadi Shirazi “Bostan”.
