Khavaran-Nameh, is a book of poetry written by Ibn-e-Hessam, which is illustrated
by Farhad, the painter from Shiraz, in the late 9th/15th century. The illustrations
belong to Shiraz school of the Torkaman Period. This book inclues systematic
tabling and precise mathematical proportions. The poet, the illustrator and the
tabulator (jadval kesh) have worked together in harmony. The sides of the frames
of the illustrations have a constant proportion in all illustrations and in some, the
frames are broken or zigzaged (pelle ie). In addition to demonstrate. the general
principles of drawing the tables and frames of the illustrations, this study seeks
to explore the reason of breaking the frames, for the reason of strict geometrical
principles, the frames of the illustrations seem to have changed when the illustrator
recommended it. Some of the key concepts to which this study pays special
attention are the unchanging, constant length of one side in all of the illustrations
in Khavaran-Nameh.
