| book description |

Cet ouvrage explore une pÃ©riode charniÃ¨re de lâ€™histoire du livre islamique et iranien: la pÃ©riode mongole envisagÃ©e dans le long terme, sous les dynasties ilkhanide et djalayiride. Il Ã©tudie la question de la maturation de la calligraphie arabe classique Ã travers la vie et lâ€™Å“uvre de YÄqÅ«t al-MustaÊ¿á¹£imÄ« qui sont, pour la premiÃ¨re fois, soumises Ã une analyse systÃ©matique, mettant en avant lâ€™importance de son Ã©cole et des maÃ®tres bagdadiens pour les arts du livre des dÃ©cennies suivantes. Lâ€™ouvrage se penche aussi sur les manuscrits des Ilkhans musulmans et du vizir RashÄ«d al-DÄ«n dans le cadre de la problÃ©matique de la naissance de la kitÄbkhÄnah et de lâ€™affirmation du statut des calligraphes et des peintres sous les derniers Ilkhanides et les Djalayirides. This book explores a pivotal period in the history of the book in the Islamic world and Iran, i.e. the Mongol period viewed in a long-term perspective, under the Ilkhanid and the Djalayirid dynasties. It examines the issue of the maturation of classical Arabic calligraphy through the life and work of YÄqÅ«t al-MustaÊ¿á¹£imÄ«, which are for the first time subjected to a systematic analysis, highlighting the importance of his school and the Baghdadi masters for the arts of the book of the following decades. The study also looks at the manuscripts of the Muslim Ilkhans and the Vizier RashÄ«d al-DÄ«n in the context of the birth of the kitÄbkhÄnah and the rise in the status of calligraphers and painters under the last Ilkhanids and the Djalayirids.
