Abstract

This study aims to investigate the origins, concepts, and symbolic and formal functions of the Gunbad-i Qā bus tomb-tower based on interpretation of its inscription. This hermeneutic analysis addresses the historical context of the building formation, rethinking the concepts presented in its ten-piece inscription using philological methods, and compares it with the inscriptions of some other tomb-towers of Iran. Findings show that after the fall of Samanid dynasty, Qā bus b. Voshmgī r erected the symbol (tower) of his authority and charter of governance on the road from Gurgā n to Khurasan to show off his power and ensure his sovereignty against powerful enemies like the Buyids. The original intention of Qā bus to build the monument beyond its funerary function was the foundation of an eternal monument glorifying his virtues, grandeur, and ambitions. In addition, this landmark is a symbol of the consolidation of Qā bus’ s power in the political arena, and his perfection and eminence in art and literature.
