Recenzii
"Through a detailed reading of both text and image, Lives of the Prophets: The Illustrations to Hafiz-i Abru’s “Assembly of Chronicles” sets the standard for the codicologically-driven study of Persian illustrated manuscripts." - Yuka Kadoi, University of Vienna, in: Abstracta Iranica 40-41 (2019)
"This tightly conceived and clearly written study is, as Charles Melville states in the preface (p. x), a masterpiece of “forensic detective work” in unraveling the complex history of Hafiz-i Abru’s universal chronicle. It will readily interest art historians who work on Iran and its neighbors, from Mongol times onwards. [...] the author's careful study has much information that will also interest historian and historiographers." - Sheila Blair, Boston College, in: Iranian Studies (2019)
“The real power of this book is in the brilliant reconstruction of the fragmented or dispersed manuscripts of both Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh and Majmaʿ al-tavārīkh, the translation of sections from Ḥāfiẓ-i Abrū’s text, and the sets of iconographic comparisons. Together these form a solid basis for future studies in the field, and, at the same time, offer an interesting picture of Islamic biblical and prophetic iconography within a specific historical context. “- Rachel Milstein The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, in JAOS (2020)
