Summary
[edit]DescriptionNiche from Samaritane house 15-16th century Damascus 8422.jpg |
Deutsch: Die Nische stammt aus einem Gebäude im Damaszener Stadtviertel al-Malik az-Zahir, das nach dem Mamlukischen Sultan az-Zahir Baibars benannt ist. Auch der Dekor der Nische spricht für eine Datierung in Mamlukische Zeit (1250-1517).
Die Inschriften an der Nische sind Zitate aus der Thora in Samaritanischer Schrift. Die Samaritaner sind eine jüdische Religionsgemeinschaft, die erst im 17. Jahrhundert aus Damaskus vertrieben wurde und heute im Westjordanland und Israel lebt. Diese Nische ist ein Beispiel für eine dekorative Formensprache, die gleichsam von allen drei in Damaskus lebenden Religionsgemeinschaften benutzt wurde.
English: The niche comes from a building in the Damascus district of al-Malik az-Zahir, which is named after the Mamluk Sultan az-Zahir Baibars. The decor of the niche also suggests dating to the Mamluk period (1250-1517).
The inscriptions on the niche are quotations from the Torah in Samaritan script. The Samaritans are a Jewish religious community that was only expelled from Damascus in the 17th century and now lives in the West Bank and Israel. This niche is an example of a decorative design language that was used by all three religious communities living in Damascus. |
