[edit] Art?

Are there any illustrations or photographs of his manuscripts that are in the public domain and could be added to the page? That would be a wonderful addition. A little mollusk (talk) 04:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, but Wikipedia is too restrictive [[1]]. --alidoostzadeh (talk) 04:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Here would be a good one: [[2]] I can even read the names of the modes: Isfahan, Nawruz, Rast, Novi, Aragh..--alidoostzadeh (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

There are some really nice manuscripts! Whoa! If there really is one from which you can read the modes... that would be GREAT! Why is there never the love for Saba? A little mollusk (talk) 04:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

You mean Abul Hasan Saba :) ? Or is Saba another mode? I have a friend that can understand the modes, but I just read the names of the mode. Anyhow I think these are some of the earliest examples of notes :)--alidoostzadeh (talk) 04:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Saba, the maqam or mode. If you can read the script, you're far ahead of me, my friend. Is there a Wikipedian savvy in images who could help secure the permissions to use it? A little mollusk (talk) 04:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah on Saba, actually interestingly enough, I did not see it on the page of that manuscript. But I am sure it is old mode. But I do see Rast and 'Iraq which have kept their names down to modern times. Not sure who the wikipedia expert is, but usually you just need copy right permission from a site owner who has the images.--alidoostzadeh (talk) 05:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
