ABSTRACT This study compares two paintings: one is the third in an undated illustrated manuscript of Kalila va Dimna in the Gulestan Palace Library in Tehran, and the other, often called “Musa va ‘Uj”, is in the Khalili Collection in London. These two paintings share so many similarities that they have long been thought to be the work of the same hand, painted at about the same time. The aim of this article is to examine the proposition by considering some relevant historical and aesthetic aspects. The study of the differences and similarities between the two paintings should be helpful in suggesting a resolution to this interesting problem.

“先知穆罕默德和他的同伴”和“穆萨 va 'UJ”：两幅画的比较

摘要 本研究比较了两幅画作：一幅是德黑兰古列斯坦宫图书馆的 Kalila va Dimna 未注明日期的插图手稿中的第三幅，另一幅通常被称为“Musa va'Uj”，在伦敦的 Khalili 收藏中。这两幅画有很多相似之处，以至于长期以来一直认为它们是同一只手的作品，大约在同一时间绘制。本文的目的是通过考虑一些相关的历史和美学方面来检验这个命题。对两幅画之间的异同的研究应该有助于解决这个有趣的问题。
