Art Management and Ilkhanid Libraries

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the structure of the library and other cultural institutions, how they are managed and the selection and use of human resources in the Ilkhanid period. Methodology: In this study, artistic management theory is used to evaluate inductively, using Ilkhan's practices, management and planning, and their success in transforming ideas into action or defining values and goals to the stage of implementation of library outputs (works). To be consolidated. The sources of this library research and images are from digital sources in museums. Findings: The importance and value of preserving ancestral information among the Mongols led to the writing of books on Mongol history as well as an increase in historiography during this period. The Mongols, by gaining military and political power and conquering vast territories, not only needed to run the country but also had to build cultural infrastructure. Art and writing were two essential elements for introducing, propagating, justifying and bringing cultures together by combining them. The purpose of the Ilkhanid is clearly stated in the Ghazan reforms and Oljaito's words about combining the law and policy of Genghis with Islamic laws. It is considered to be the most important duties and deeds of the Mongol and Ilkhanid rulers. The design and painting of patterns in this period began and expanded in relation to architectural decorations. Then, from the Ghazan period onwards, the same colors, patterns and ritual values ​​manifested in the art of architecture were transferred to the art of book decoration. The subjects of the paintings are inspired by the subjects of books written, translated and compiled by the Ilkhanid. Paintings are intersexual works and are the same subjects that the Ilkhanid were interested in or wanted to visualize in order to become familiar with religious subjects. The predominance of dark blue, light blue and gold colors in gilding is precisely related to the colors mentioned in the description of the values ​​of the Ilkhanate religion. Attention to geometric patterns and support of geometric sciences, which led to an increase in patterns in this period. Geometric patterns expressing the sun and Khaqan in a symbolic pattern can be found not only in gilding but in all works of this period. These motifs have found Islamic meanings after Ilkhan became a Muslim. To implement the cultural composition strategy, they likely selected and employed artists and writers tailored to the organization's goals. This first affects the transfer and implementation of values ​​and also facilitates the institutionalization of values. Conclusion: The results show that speech values are compiled. Topics such as astronomy, geometry, wisdom, medicine and history were supported. Religious values were used in architectural decoration, then combined in Islamic design and painting.
