介绍（中）	穆罕默德·沙菲（Muhammad Shafi，1779-1846），被称为设拉子的维萨尔（Vesal of Shiraz），是卡杰尔时期最著名、最多产的书法家和诗人之一。他是在萨非王朝、阿夫沙尔王朝和赞德王朝的地方法院任职的一批抄写员的后裔。他精通七种文字，尤其是纳斯基语和纳斯塔语。众所周知，他一生中复制了60多部《古兰经》，以及其他文本的手稿，以及单页和多页。他专门以已故萨非王朝书法家的风格复兴纳斯基，特别是易卜拉欣·库米和艾哈迈德·奈里齐，他们被认为是伊朗毫无争议的复兴纳斯基大师。本页摘录了一本用精细的纳斯基语写成的《古兰经》。有八条对角线的文本用奶油色墨水书写，在这八条对角线之间用粉色、黄色和蓝色墨水反向书写另外八行。向前的线条包括《古兰经》中的王座诗句（苏拉2，第255节），彩色字母是文本在接下来的两节中的延续。这幅作品展示了这位卡塔尔书法家对在不寻常颜色的背景上使用前所未有的彩色墨水书写的偏好。它也反映了人们对多向写作的偏好，即读者被迫翻页阅读文本。
介绍（英）	Muhammad Shafi' (1779–1846), known as Vesal of Shiraz, is among the most celebrated and prolific calligraphers and poets of the Qajar period. He descended from a line of scribes who served at the local courts of the Safavid, Afshar, and Zand rulers. He was proficient in seven scripts, particularly in naskhi and nasta'liq. He is known to have copied over sixty Qur'ans in his lifetime, as well as manuscripts of other texts, and single and mashq pages. He specialized in revival naskhi in the style of late Safavid calligraphers, particularly Ibrahim Qumi and Ahmad Nairizi, considered the uncontested master of revival naskhi in Iran. This page contains excerpts from a Qur'an written in fine naskhi. There are eight diagonal lines of text in cream-colored ink between which an additional eight lines are written in reverse, in pink, yellow, and blue inks. The forward facing lines comprise the throne verse from the Qur'an (Sura 2, verse 255), and the colored letters are a continuation of the text through the next two verses. This work illustrates the Qajar calligrapher's preference for writing in an unprecedented range of colored inks on backgrounds of unusual color. It also reflects the penchant for writing in a multidirectional manner, whereby the reader is forced to turn the page around in order to read the text.
