DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dorothée Kreuzer: The spate of recent publications
  on late 15th century Timurid book art opens up critical space for reconsi
 dering the conventional text-image relationship approach. A close reading 
 of the sumptuous three double page opening sequence of the Cairo Bustan re
 veals the illumination program of the manuscript not only as meta-commenta
 ry to Sa’di’s text but emerges as literally pre- and pro-scriptive: sh
 owing what precedes words and a guidance to how to read the following text
 . Taking my cue from the unpublished double-page spread placed between the
  famous frontispiece and the gateway to the written text or incipit\, the 
 issue of beauty appears as the non-trivial steppingstone en route to the i
 neffable. Very much like the Platonic agalma as launch pad to the higher g
 ood\, the intricate montage of the figures of goose and phoenix draws the 
 reader’s attention to processes of understanding.
