Interpretation Of Miniatures Depicting Amir Temur, Drawn For Manuscript Copies Of “Gulshan Ul-Asror”

Several manuscript copies of Haydar Khwarazmi’s Gulshan ul-asror are preserved worldwide. However, not all of them contain miniatures. Even among the copies with miniatures, the image of Amir Temur is not depicted in every case. This article presents an interpretation of a miniature dedicated to the tale about Amir Temur. The miniature illustrates the episode of Amir Temur and the ant: the ant repeatedly attempts to climb a wall, falling each time, yet eventually succeeds in reaching the top. Inspired by this scene, Amir Temur continues his efforts in battle.
