코끼리 시계: 기발한 기계 장치에 관한 지식서의 폴리오

dated 715 AH/1315 CE
Not on view
이 그림은 이스마일 알-자자리가 1315년에집필한 발명에 관한 논문 삽화 중 한 장입니다. 그의 코끼리 시계는 특히 정교합니다. 30분마다 돔 위의 새가 지저귀고 그 아래의 남성은 용의 입 안으로 구슬을 떨어뜨리며 조종사는 예리한 날이 달린 막대기로 코끼리를 채찍질합니다. 이 자동시계는 작은 조각상의 움직임을 통해 시간의 흐름을 재미있게 전했던 중세 유럽 시청의 정교한 시계를 연상하게 합니다. 시리아에서 이 시기의 필사본이 거의 전해지지 않는 것을 감안할 때 이 폴리오는 귀한 작품입니다.
