Document Details : Title: Islamicised pseudo-Buddhist Iconography in Ilkhanid Royal Manuscripts Author(s): JUNGEON OH, Leo Journal: Persica Volume: 20 Date: 2004-2005 Pages: 91-154 DOI: 10.2143/PERS.20.0.2005886 Abstract : In the context of the Islamic world, the Ilkhanid state was Muslim polity, and thus one might expect to encounter Islamic cultural, or artistic traditions in Ilkhanid art. However as the Mongols ruled over much of the Eurasian continent, they had to deal with a variety of cultures. Thus they cultural identity is complicated and by no means definable by entirely Muslim standards. Likewise, their artistic language reflected on Ilkhanid royal manuscripts is multilingual with peculiarity, which is rather hard to articulate by Islamic art language proper. |
