Description: A Mongol prince studying the Koran. Illustration of Rashid-ad-Din's Gami' at-tawarih. Tabriz (?), 1st quarter of 14th century. Water colours on paper. Original size: 20.3 cm x 26.7 cm. Staatsbibliothek Berlin, Orientabteilung, Diez A fol. 70, p. 8 no.1. This seems to be a tent mosque. The inscription above the arch on the left, which is either the entrance or the Mihrab, reads "Allah is the ruler" (or similar). Note: the proportions given in the source seem rather inconsistent with those of the image.
