Özet

The headline ornament of the Manichean illuminated manuscript number MIK III 6368 is analyzed in this presentation. MIK III 6368 is one of the most famous manuscripts which has very impressive illuminations on both sides. In the verso side of the manuscript, the headline has a conspicuous floral decoration and a miniature. The decoration continues through above and below the headline, and conjoins to the miniature as a one unit. The floral decoration has different growth phases of probably one kind of a flower: flower buds, half-open flowers, full- blown flowers, and with blue and green colored leaves. In this paper, the design of the headline decoration, the major elements of the ornament and the painting technique are presented. Furthermore, the painting technique of the manuscript MIK III 6368 is compared with some other Islamic illuminated manuscripts from the later centuries, as well.
