A Miniature by Yahya ibn Mahmud al-Wasiti,1237 CE.

Yahya ibn Mahmod al-Wasiti was a 13th-century Arab Islamic artist. Al-Wasiti was born in Wasit in southern Iraq. He was noted for his illustrations of the Maqam of al-Hariri. Maqama (literally 'assemblies') are an (originally) Arabic literary genre of rhymed prose with intervals of poetry in which rhetorical extravagance is conspicuous. The 10th century author Badi' al-Zaman al-Hamadhani is said to have invented the form, which was extended by al-Hariri of Basra in the next century. Both authors' maqamat center on trickster figures whose wanderings and exploits in speaking to assemblies of the powerful are conveyed by a narrator. Manuscripts of al-Hariri's Maqamat, anecdotes of a roguish wanderer Abu Zayd from Saruj, were frequently illustrated with miniatures.

Título:

A Miniature by Yahya ibn Mahmud al-Wasiti,1237 CE.

Descripción:

Traducción automática: Yahya ibn Mahmod al-Wasiti fue un artista árabe islámico del siglo XIII. Al-Wasiti nació en Wasit, en el sur de Irak. Se destacó por sus ilustraciones del Maqam de al-Hariri. Maqama (literalmente 'asambleas') es un género literario árabe (originalmente) de prosa rimada con intervalos de poesía en los que la extravagancia retórica es conspicua. Se dice que el autor del siglo X, Badi 'al-Zaman al-Hamadhani, inventó la forma, que fue ampliada por al-Hariri de Basora en el siglo siguiente. El maqamat de ambos autores se centra en figuras tramposas cuyas andanzas y hazañas al hablar ante asambleas de poderosos son transmitidas por un narrador. Los manuscritos del Maqamat de al-Hariri, anécdotas de un vagabundo pícaro Abu Zayd de Saruj, se ilustraban con frecuencia con miniaturas.
