Transforming our understanding of Persian art, this impressive
interdisciplinary book decodes some of the world's most exquisite
medieval paintings. It reveals the hidden meaning behind enigmatic
figures and scenes that have puzzled modern scholars, focusing on
five 'miniature' paintings. Chad Kia shows how the cryptic elements
in these works of art from Timurid Persia conveyed the mystical
teachings of Sufi poets like Rumi, Attar and Jami, and heralded one
of the most significant events in the history of Islam: the
takeover by the Safavids in 1501 and the conversion of Iran to
Shiism.
