EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MS Ahmed III 3206 The Philosopher" takes us back to the 13th century, where we find ourselves in the midst of a profound philosophical lecture. Created by the Turkish School, this illustration is part of Kitab Mukhtar al-Hikam wa-Mahasin al-Kilam (The Book of Selections of Wisdom and Wonderful Sayings) by Al-Mubashir. In this scene, a wise and learned philosopher sits upon an ornate throne-like chair, surrounded by eager students who hang onto his every word. Dressed in traditional attire with a turban adorning his head, he holds a scroll that contains revelations and knowledge from centuries past. His face emanates wisdom as he imparts valuable teachings to his attentive pupils. The atmosphere is one of reverence and intellectual pursuit as these young minds absorb the timeless wisdom being shared with them. The intricate pen & ink and gouache technique used in this artwork adds depth and richness to its portrayal. Located at the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, this masterpiece serves as a reminder of the importance placed on education during Islamic civilization. It symbolizes not only the transmission of knowledge but also highlights the role played by esteemed tutors or professors in shaping future generations. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into an era where philosophy was held dear; where seeking knowledge was considered invaluable; and where enlightenment thrived within scholarly circles.
