    Ibn `Asākir al-Dimashqi al-Shafi`i al-Ash`ari (499-571/ d. 1175)

    Ta'rīkh Madīnat Dimashq (=TMD).

    "One of the fascinating aspects of Ibn ʿAsākir’s Taʾrīkh madīnat Dimashq... is that he includes no fewer than twenty-nine biblical and extrabiblical prophetic or sacred figures in his Taʾrīkh madīnat Dimashq—twenty-three men and six women. What we have, then, with respect to pre-Islamic sacred women are biographies of Eve [TMD 69:101-111], Sarah [TMD, 69:180-90] Hagar [TMD 70:144-6], 20 Mary [TMD 70:75-122],  Raḥma (Job’s wife) [TMD 69:120-8], and Bilqīs (queen of Sheba) [TMD 69:67-78]."

    Joveiri / Juvayrī [or Ḥuwayzi?] Muhammad (fl. 4th/10th cent. CE??) = Muhammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Daydūzamī (13th cent. CE).

    Stories of the Prophets...Mazda Publishers, 1999: vii+261pp., 45 color plates, 72 black & white plates, bibl., index. Islamic Art & Architecture Series, No. 8. ISBN:1-56859-064-4 (cloth) ( $65.00)

    "This volume presents a detailed iconographic and stylistic study of a group of profusely illustrated manuscripts, from 1570's-80's. This group comprises 21 copies of three Persian texts, all entitled Stories of the Prophets. The lives and deeds of mostly biblical figures, considered by Muslims as prophets, are mentioned briefly in the Koran. They are then developed and enlarged upon in the writings of religious scholars, historians, sufi poets, and popular storytellers. The variation of literary details reflect the differences between Muslim religious trends and the debts of Islamic thinking and art, to pre-Islamic traditions and the syncretism of these various traditions with Islamic theology.
    Textual and visual analysis in this book show that in spite of the language and the Persian style of decoration, most of the manuscripts were copied and illustrated by a group of unidentified painters in the Ottoman Empire rather than Iran. The iconographical study reveals ideological programs and cliche typical of the Ottoman polemical discourse with its Shi`ite rival in Iran, and its Christian neighbors in the West.
    The non-royal style of the miniatures suggests the existence of a hitherto unknown Ottoman school of painting, either in the provincial town, or in the bazaar of Istanbul. It raises new questions and offers new ideas concerning the organization of non-royal workshops and the role of religious art in various social cycles. These questions of cultural identity and social context of the illustrated manuscripts are studied in this volume. Also discussed are a literary and visual presentation of the individual stories, a reconstruction of a hypothetical model for the iconographic cycle, and a checklist of the manuscripts." (DJ).
