Summary[edit]

Description
العربية: مُنمنمة فارسيَّة بعنوان "في قصر الخليفة العباسي" هي جزء من مخطوطة سليمة لكتاب نيجاريستان، وهي مجموعة من الحكايات والأحداث التاريخية كتبها نثرًا المؤرخ والباحث أحمد محمد غفاري (1504–1567/68) من كاشان في 1551-2. من المحتمل أن هذه المخطوطة المصورة، التي يرجع تاريخها إلى عام 1573، قد تم إنتاجها في ورشة عمل في شيراز.

توضح اللوحة المنمنمة القصة الوعظية لجعفر البرمكي وزير الخليفة العباسي الشهير هارون الرشيد (786-809) في بغداد. وهي تعرض نفس السمات التركيبية التي تظهر في مشاهد الفناء الداخلي لرسوم شيراز التوضيحية لتلك الفترة. يتم وضع الصورة في إطار مستطيل بين مربعي نص فوقها وأسفلها. يجلس الشخص المتوج، الوزير جعفر البرمكي، على سجادة في أعلى مستوى من الغرفة. وعن يمينه ضيفه الذي يشير إليه ويبدو أنه يتحدث معه. الشخصيات الموجودة في الجزء السفلي من الصورة هي لنساء يحملن آلات إيقاعية ويفترض أنهن موسيقيات أو راقصات.

ويصور المشهد مأدبة النبيذ والموسيقى، يستقبل خلالها الوزير ضيفاً من أقرباء الخليفة هارون الرشيد. وعلى الرغم من علاقته الوثيقة بالخليفة، إلا أنه يطلب معروفًا من الوزير. وتشير الحكاية إلى قوة ونفوذ الوزير جعفر البرمكي.

تنتمي هذه الحكاية إلى النوع المعروف باسم نادر، وهو ما يعني "حدث أو حدث غريب". ضمن هذا النوع، تشير الحكايات حول الشذوذات والمعجزات إلى مصدر تاريخي أو أدبي ويتم سردها في سياق تاريخي. هذه الأحداث والمعجزات الغريبة تحدث للحكام والعلماء والوزراء والناس العاديين في التاريخ الإيراني منذ دخول الإسلام إلى زمن الصفويين (1501-1677). إنها تقدم نسخة مثالية من التاريخ، وغالبًا ما تحتوي على تحذير أو درس أخلاقي. لقد أنتج غفاري، بصفته مؤرخًا، نيجريستان بطريقة يتم فيها اختيار مصادر الروايات بعناية، لكن المحتوى في الغالب عبارة عن نسخة مثالية من التاريخ ويتم سردها لصالح الحاكم. كان هذا النهج في التأريخ شائعًا في إيران الصفوية

The miniature painting "In the Palace of the ‘Abbasid Caliph" is from an intact manuscript of Kitab-i Nigaristan, a collection of anecdotes and historical incidents written in prose by the historian and scholar Ahmad Muhammad Ghaffari (1504–1567/68) of Kashan in 1551–2. This illustrated manuscript, dated 1573, was probably produced in a Shiraz workshop.

The miniature painting illustrates the moralizing tale of Jaʿfar Barmaki,[1] minister of the famous ʿAbbasid Caliph Harun al-Rašid[2] (786–809) in Baghdad. It displays the same compositional features as the interior court scenes[3] of Shiraz illustrations of the period. The image is placed in a rectangular frame between two textboxes above and below it. The crowned figure, the vizier Jaʿfar Barmaki, sits on a rug at the highest level of the room. On his right is his guest, who points and seems to converse with him. The figures in the lower part of the picture plane are women who hold percussion instruments and are presumably musicians or dancers.

The scene depicts a banquet with wine and music, during which the minister receives a guest who is a close relative of the caliph Harun al-Rašid. Despite his close relationship to the caliph, he is asking the minister for a favour. The anecdote points out the power and influence of the minister, Jaʿfar Barmaki.

This anecdote belongs to a genre known as nadira, which means "a strange event or happening." Within this genre, anecdotes about oddities and miracles refer to a historical or literary source and are narrated within a historical context. These strange events and miracles occur to rulers, scholars, viziers, and ordinary people in Iranian history from the introduction of Islam to the time of the Safavids (1501–1677). They offer an idealized version of history and often contain a warning or moral lesson. Ghaffari, as a historian, has produced the Nigaristan in such a way that the narratives are carefully sourced, but the content is mostly an idealized version of the history and is told for the benefit of the ruler. This approach to historiography was popular in Safavid Iran.
