Iraq-Arabia: A conversation in a village. Miniature by Yahya ibn Mahmud al-Wasiti,1237 CE

Yahyâ ibn Mahmûd al-Wâsitî 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:
Iraq-Arabia: A conversation in a village. Miniature by Yahya ibn Mahmud al-Wasiti,1237 CE
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Yahyâ ibn Mahmûd al-Wâsitî 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 (originalmente) árabe de prosa rimada con intervalos de poesía en los que la extravagancia retórica es notoria. 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. Los maqamat de ambos autores se centran en figuras embaucadoras cuyos vagabundeos y hazañas al hablar ante asambleas de los poderosos son transmitidos por un narrador. Los manuscritos del Maqamat de al-Hariri, anécdotas del pícaro vagabundo Abu Zayd de Saruj, fueron frecuentemente ilustrados con miniaturas.
