EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Horse and rider, illustration from the Book of Farriery" takes us back in time to the 13th century Islamic world. Created by Ahmed ibn al-Husayn ibn al-Ahnaf, this exquisite vellum artwork is a true testament to the equestrian knowledge and craftsmanship of that era. The image showcases a beautifully adorned horse with its skilled rider, both depicted with intricate detail. The Arabic script surrounding them adds an air of authenticity and cultural significance to the piece. The turbaned rider sits confidently on his mount, showcasing their deep connection and mutual understanding. The illustration highlights various elements related to horsemanship such as taming, dressage, and breaking in horses. The presence of a crop and whip suggests that these tools were used for training purposes during that time period. The bridle worn by the horse further emphasizes its importance as a means of control. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident that it was not only created for aesthetic pleasure but also served as an educational tool. This manuscript provided valuable insights into farriery practices during the Seljuk era. Now housed at the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, this print offers us a glimpse into ancient equestrian traditions while reminding us of our timeless fascination with these magnificent creatures.
