visited Head Illuminator Master Osman and kissed his hand。 The great master;

he  explained;  had  given  him  wise  words  to  ponder:  “A  painter’s  quality

bees evident in his discussions of blindness and memory;” he’d said。 So let

it be evident:

Blindness and Memory

Before the art of illumination there was blackness and afterward there will also

be blackness。 Through our colors; paints; art and love; we remember that Allah

had manded us to “See”! To know is to remember that you’ve seen。 To see

is   to   know   without   remembering。   Thus;   painting   is   remembering   the

blackness。 The great masters; who shared a love of painting and perceived that

color and sight arose from darkness; longed to return to Allah’s blackness by

means  of  color。  Artists  without  memory  neither  remember  Allah  nor  his

blackness。  All  great  masters;  in  their  work;  seek  that  profound  void  within

color and outside time。 Let me explain to you what it means to remember this

darkness; which was revealed in Herat by the great masters of old。

Three Stories on Blindness and Memory

ALIF

In  Lami’i  Chelebi’s  Turkish  translation  of  the  Persian  poet  Jami’s  Gifts  of

Intimacy;  which  addresses  the  stories  of  the  saints;  it  is  written  that  in  the

bookmaker’s workshop of Jihan Shah; the ruler of the Blacksheep nation; the

renowned  master  Sheikh  Ali  Tabrizi  had  illustrated  a  magnificent  version  of

Hüsrev and Shirin。 According to what I’ve heard; in this legendary manuscript;

which  took  eleven  years  to  plete;  the  master  of  master  miniaturists;

Sheikh Ali; displayed such talent and skill and painted such wonderful pictures

that  only  the  greatest  of  the  old  masters;  Bihzad;  could  have  matched  him。

Even  before  the  illuminated  manuscript  was  half  finished;  Jihan  Shah  knew

that he would soon possess a spectacular book without equal in all the world。

He  thus  lived  in  fear  and  jealousy  of  young  Tall  Hasan;  the  ruler  of  the

Whitesheep  nation;  and  declared  him  his  archenemy。  Moreover;  Jihan  Shah

quickly sensed that though his prestige would grow immensely after the book

was  pleted;  an  even  better  version  of  the  manuscript  could  be  made  for

Tall  Hasan。  Being  one  of  those  truly  jealous  men  who  poisoned  his  own

contentment  with  the  thought  “What  if  others  e  to  know  such  bliss?”

Jihan Shah sensed at once that if the virtuoso miniaturist made another copy;

or  even  a  better  version;  it  would  be  for  his  archenemy  Tall  Hasan。  Thus;  in

order to prevent anyone besides himself from owning this magnificent book;
