Apocalipsis de Mahoma

Mi'ragnama : cuyo original se custodia en la Bibliothèque nationale de France, con la signatura Supp. Turc. 190

by

Miʻrāj nāmah, or "The Apocalypse of Muhammad" is considered a masterpiece of the Timurid style. Produced in 1436 in Herat (modern-day northern Afghanistan), it illustrates the Prophet Muḥammad's night journey through the celestial sphere, in the company of the Archangel Gabriel, his arrival at the throne of God, and his return to Earth by way of the seven circles of Hell. In medieval Europe the work became known through the Latin translation that Alfonso the Wise commissioned, and may have inspired Dante's Divine Comedy. Created in Timurid Herat, the miniatures illustrating the manuscipt shows the stylistic influence of Buddhist and Chinese art and are characterized by a sense of realism and movement.
