Images of the ascension during the sixteenth century exited the Mi`rajnama genre and flourished in the prefaces of Persian poems, which praise God, his Prophet, and the Prophet's ascension. Artists drew on the symbolic language found in poetical eulogies (na`t or munajat) to develop new ways of depicting the Prophet as primordial light (nur) and heavenly scent (bu). On the other hand, the appearance of the Prophet's facial veil was linked to the polito-religious claims of the Shi`i Safavid ruler Shah Isma`il (r. 1501--24). By examining ascension paintings that depict the Prophet in non-veristic ways, this study puts forward new ways of thinking about portraiture in pre-modern Islamic cultures.

It proves that ascension tales exited the realm of the bio-historical and became autonomous "Books of Ascension" (Mi`rajnamas ), works tinted by strong religious messages. It is the Mi`rajnama genre that gave rise to the most complete pictorial cycles depicting the Prophet, engaged in prayer-dialogues and actions fit for emulation. The earliest extant series of images belonging to a Mi`rajnama (TSK H. 2154) are reconstructed and matched with an appropriate text (SK Aya Sofya 3441) to prove that pictured "Books of Ascension" ca. 1317--35 promoted Sunni Islam during a period of religious fluctuation.

The most famous illustrated Mi`rajnama of the 1430s (BnF Sup Turc 190) also reveals an indebteness to theological writings and was culled for pictures of the Prophet at the Ottoman court as early as the late fifteenth century. Twenty-five folios inserted into the Mi`rajnama manuscript contain Ottoman Turkish inscriptions commenting upon the paintings in the original manuscript. Such annotations not only are a testament to the manuscript's peregrinations, but, more importantly, reveal Ottoman procedures of naturalizing pictorial forms into the visual arts through the intermediary of written, ekphrastic commentary.
