Falnama is a book of omens used by fortune tellers in Iran, India and Turkey during the 16th and 17th centuries. Individuals seeking insight into the future would engage in a series of purification rituals, turn to a random page in the Falnama, and interpret the text and drawings thereon for good or ill. Falnama manuscripts were primarily created during the 16th and 17th centuries as the Islamic calendar was approaching the year 1000.

  • Fāl-Nāmas (persisch فال نامه, DMG fāl-nāma, ‚Orakel-Buch‘) sind Bücher, die, vor allem in Iran, zur Vorhersage der Zukunft mittels Stichomantie verwendet werden. Dabei werden zwei Arten von Büchern verwendet: 1. * Gedichtbände, insbesondere der Dīwān des Hafis, die zufällig aufgeschlagen werden. Der Vers, der zuerst ins Auge fällt, ist das Omen, der Rest des Gedichtes dessen Erläuterung. 2. * Spezielle Fāl-Nāmas, hier meist das dem 6. Imam der Zwölfer-Schia, Dschaʿfar as-Sādiq, zugeschriebene Werk, die dann auch Anleitungen zur Deutung der Weissagung enthalten. (de)

Falnama manuscripts were primarily created during the 16th and 17th centuries as the Islamic calendar was approaching the year 1000. The Dispersed Falnama was an illustrated Falnama that was commissioned by Shah Tahmasp in mid-1550s-early-1560s. Many of the paintings involve Ali, who was considered the first Shi'i Imam and central to the Safavid Empire's state ideology. In the "Coffin of Imam 'Ali" painting, Ali is depicted with a flaming halo which was a technique of the preexisting Zoroastrian art in Iran. (en)
