Short description:
The five Diez albums in Berlin are an important source for the study of Ilkhanid, Jalayirid, and Timurid art. The 21 essays of this book contribute to deepening our understanding of the development of Persianate art and its perception in later times.
Long description:
The five Diez albums in Berlin, acquired by Heinrich Friedrich von Diez in Constantinople around 1789, contain more than 400 figurative paintings, drawings, fragments, and calligraphic works originating for the most part from Ilkhanid, Jalayirid, and Timurid workshops. Gonnella, Weis and Rauch unite in this volume 21 essays that analyse their relation to their ?parent? albums at the Topkap? Palace or examine specific works by reflecting upon their role in the larger history of book art in Iran. Other essays cover aspects such as the European and Chinese influence on Persianate art, aspects related to material and social culture, and the Ottoman interest in Persianate albums. This book marks an important contribution to the understanding of the development of illustrative imagery in the Persianate world and its later perception.

"The book is a testament to the importance of collaboration among scholars with different types of expertise (historians, art historians and chemists; specialists of Islamic and Chinese art, Ottomanists and Persianists; scholars from diffrent generations) and multiple approaches to the history of art. Together these twenty-two scholars finally do justice to the complex history and contents of the famous Diez albums, making them comprehensible to the scholarly community." - Emine Fetvaci, Boston University, in: Journal of the History and Culture of the Middle East 95/2 (2018)
