Abstract

Calligraphy, as a prominent art incorporated into Iranian and Islamic architecture, conveys messages and brings beauty to the eyes of the beholder. The key messages in architecture are directly expressed by inscriptions. Different types of inscriptions are shaped by lines of tiles and in the form of mosaic works, multiple painted patterns, tiles, or bricks. Verses of Quran or names of Shiite innocent Imams are used in decoration of facings to create a special sense, whether in form or intent, in traditional structures.Despite numerous recent studies carried out by scholars on mosque architecture in different eras, QAJAR PERIOD-as one of the most influential period on Iranian attitudes, belief, and culture-has often be neglected by aesthetes or researchers. Many of such buildings, like mosques, have been constructed during this era; however, no comprehensive studies have been carried out to identify and analyze the patterns and designs observed in these places. Masjid-en-Nabi (Prophet Mosque) -a prominent building showing the elegant decorations of Qajar architecture in Qzvin-is not an exception.Numerous inscriptions of suls, nasta' liq, and mo' qali CALLIGRAPHIC DESIGNs have been employed to represent RELIGIOUS THEMES.The present research uses filed and library studies to have a closer look at RELIGIOUS THEMES in CALLIGRAPHIC DESIGNs of Qazvin Majid-en-Nabi. The placement of inscriptions, content of hadiths and verses of Quran, and the reasons for selecting them are studied as well.This study hopefully opens a new horizon to more comprehensive and specified researches which will help us extract the implicit meanings and richness of Iranian culture in QAJAR PERIOD.
