La chaine de montagne
Les monts Zagros (en persan رشته كوه زاگرس culminant au Quash Mastan (4,409 m) sont une chaîne de montagnes s'étendant principalement dans l'Ouest de l'Iran, depuis le détroit d'Ormuz dans le golfe Persique jusqu'au haut-plateau arménien dans le Sud-Est de la Turquie en passant par le Nord-Est de l'Irak. Elle a une longueur totale de 1 600 kilomètres. Son point culminant se trouve dans le massif de Dena avec 4 409 mètres d'altitude. Les rivières Zarineh et Simineh prennent leur source dans les monts Zagros, pour se jeter au nord dans le lac d'Ourmia.

MOUNT DAMAVAND / دماوند SKETCHED BY HUSAYN WA'IZ KASHIFI


HUSAYN VAIZ KASHIFI  i(died 1504-1505) Mount Damavand (5, 610m -18,410ft) Iran  In The Anvār-i Suhaylī or Lights of Canopus, 1847, The Walters Art Museum


HUSAYN WA'IZ KASHIFI (840 /1436 - 910/ 1505)
Mount Damavand   (6,105m-18,410ft)
Iran

In The Anvār-i Suhaylī or Lights of Canopus, The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore

  

About this work
Walters Art Museum manuscript W.599 is an illuminated and illustrated copy of Anvar-i Suhayli (The lights of Canopus), dating to the 13th century AH/AD 19thand attributed to Husayn  Kashifi
It is a Persian version of Kalilah wa-Dimnah (The fables of Bidpay). It was completed on 26 Jumadá I 1264 AH/AD 1847 by Mirza Rahim. The text is written in Nasta'liq script in black and red ink, revealing the influence of Shikastah script. There are 123 paintings illustrating the text. The Qajar binding is original to the manuscript.

The mountain
Mount Damāvand (5, 610m -18,410ft), in Persian دماوند‎‎ , a potentially active volcano, is a stratovolcano which is the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East as well as the highest volcano in Asia (the Kunlun Volcanic Group in Tibet has a higher elevation than Damāvand, but are not considered to be volcanic mountains). It has a special place in Persian mythology and folklore.The origins and meaning of the word "Damavand" is unclear, yet some prominent researchers have speculated that it probably means "The mountain from which smoke and ash arises", alluding to the volcanic nature of the mountain.
This peak is located in the middle of the Alborz range, adjacent to Varārū, Sesang, Gol-e Zard, and Mīānrūd. The mountain is located near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, in Amol County, Mazandaran Province, 66 kilometres (41 miles) northeast of the city of Tehran. Mount Damāvand is the 12th most prominent peak in the world, and the second most prominent in Asia after Mount Everest. It is the highest volcanic mountain in Asia, and part of the Volcanic Seven Summits mountaineering challenge. Damavand is a significant mountain in Persian mythology. It is the symbol of Iranian resistance against despotism and foreign rule in Persian poetry and literature. In Zoroastrian texts and mythology, the three-headed dragon Aži Dahāka was chained within Mount Damāvand, there to remain until the end of the world. In a later version of the same legend, the tyrant Zahhāk was also chained in a cave somewhere in Mount Damāvand after being defeated by Kāveh and Fereydūn. Persian poet Ferdowsi depicts this event in his masterpiece, the Shahnameh, in which the mountain is said to hold magical powers. Damāvand has also been named in the Iranian legend of Arash (as recounted by Bal'ami) as the location from which the hero shot his magical arrow to mark the border of Iran, during the border dispute between Iran and Turan. The famous poem Damāvand by Mohammad Taqī Bahār is also one fine example of the mountain's significance in Persian literature.
Mount Damavand is depicted on the reverse of the Iranian 10,000 rials banknote.
An anthropologist of Mazandaran Cultural Heritage and Tourism Department, Touba Osanlou, has said that a proposal has been put forward by a group of Iranian mountaineers to register the highest peak in the Middle East, Mount Damavand as a national heritage site. Mazandaran Cultural Heritage and Tourism Department has accepted the proposal, the Persian daily Jam-e Jam reported.

The artist
Kamāl al-Dīn Ḥusayn ibn Alī Kashifi, best simply known as Husayn Kashifi, was a prolific Persia] prose-stylist, a poet, a Quran exegete, a Sufi scholar, and an astronomer of the Timurid era. Kashifi was his pen name, whereas his surname al-Wāʿiẓ ("the preacher") denoted his professional occupation. He spent most of his career in Herat, where his academic activities were supported by Ali-Shir Nava'i, a senior vizier in the Timurid court during Sultan Husayn Bayqara's rule, hence the reason for Kashifi to dedicate most of his works to Nava'i. He was also very close to the famous Persian poet and Sufi, Nur al-Din 'Abd al-Rahman Jami. His famous works include Akhlaq-e Mohseni and Anwar-e Sohaili  (above) in Persian prose, and Jawaher al-Tafsir and Mawaheb-e 'Aliyya which are Persian tafsirs of the Quran.
