Abstract: (603 Views)
Along with the culture of public utilities like the construction of mosques, some inscriptions, made from stone or tile, plaster, and wood, have been installed on part of the constructions, which contain valuable information about the founders, builders, artificers, benefactors, date of constructions and so on. These inscriptions can be discussed from different aspects and they express social, cultural, historical, and religious events of the period. This is the reason why they are so important among other historical documents.
This article aims at rereading the old inscriptions, reading the recently found texts, studying decoration arts, figures of speech in poetry, and themes in the historical Mosques of Borujerd along with the genealogy of builders and artists, founders, poets, and architects that are mentioned in the inscriptions and their construction periods. The research method in the present research is descriptive-analytical. It is conducted both in field and library methods. The findings will answer three main questions: (1) What is the order and sequence of the mosques’ poetic inscriptions? (2) What are the concepts and messages in the inscriptions? (3) What figures of speech are used in the poetries of the inscriptions?
The results indicate that (1) the Installation of the poetic inscription on Borujerd Mosques has been started in the Safavid era and reached its peak in the Zand and Qajar eras (2) In the studied poetic inscriptions, figures of speech in poetry are used in addition to the decorative calligraphy and the names of some designers, architects, calligraphers, and poets are also mentioned in the text of the poems. (3) According to the text of inscriptions, the role of one of the Borujerd rulers’ measures in construction activities and public utilities has not been mentioned much in history, is clarified.
