Comparative analysis of intra-textual references of poem “Love and passion and drunkenness” in Sa’adi Boostan with painting “A begging man in front of Mosque” by Kamalodin Behzad

Sa’adi’sBoostan is one of the books illustrated in different ages by different painters. The painting“Begging man in front of Mosque” is one of the maintained illustrations in Cairo library which is illustrated by Kamalodin Behzad. The basis of the Behzad’s illustration is the Sa’adi’s poem which in this story uses the Hadiths and storied and narrations and is expressed in a poetic manner. On this basis, it is assumed that Behzad also used the narrations, hadiths, and stories in order to illustrate the Boostan. Using novel techniques of the work reading which are conventional as intertextuality at present and codified in Janette’s thought in details, one can provide a comparative analysis of the textual references in an inter-textual manner. In this research, one of the Trans-textual Janette’s typologies is used in order to investigate how the painting“Begging man in front of the mosque” by Kamalodin Behzad is related to the Sa’adi’s poem“Love and Passion and Drunkenness”.This research seeks to find the answer of this question: what other sources did Sa’adi use in this and what text and references did Behzad use in illustrating this poem, in addition, to compare the painting with the poem. This research is theoretical and fundamental in term of methodology and this is conducted in descriptive-analytic procedure and the note-taking was used to gather information. The research findings based on the intertextuality discourses imply that Sa’adi used the narrations and Hadiths in writing the Boostan.In addition, Behzad also used these resources in illustrating the text as the main origin of the images and didn’t rely only on the mere reflection of the story.
