ONLINE Webinar "Topographies of the Unseen: Illustrated Hafiz Manuscripts and the 'World of Image' in Early Modern Iran" by Michael Chagnon (Aga Khan Museum), Persian Manuscripts Association (PMA),
9 July 2026, 18:00 – 19:20 CET
Hafiz of Shiraz (d. 1390 CE) is considered the foremost lyric poet of the medieval Persian tradition. A sumptuously illustrated manuscript of the Divan from 1658, now dispersed, features paintings that de-pict varied combinations of stock characters who inhabit Hafiz's verses – sufis, wine-servers, and mu-sicians, among others. This lecture presents new discoveries in the manuscript's codicological features and explores its distinctive pictorial language in relation to its intended bibliomantic application.
