Khan School
Khan School (Persian: مدرسه خان) is a prominent madrasa first established by Allahverdi Khan in 1595 AD in Shiraz, during the Safavid era in Persia. A wide variety of sciences of the time were taught there, including Islamic science, Medicine, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, Mathematics, Geometry, Geology, and Astrology. The school received its prominence when Mulla Sadra was invited by Imam Quli Khan to give his controversial teachings in Islamic Philosophy, which he called Transcendent Theosophy or al-hikmah al-muta’āliyah. Khan School is still operating to this date as part of the Islamic seminary of Shiraz.[1] [2] [3]
Architecture
Khan School in Shiraz is one of the most important schools constructed by the rulers of Shiraz, Allah-verdi khan and his son Emam-Qoli Khan during this era. This school possesses a unique luster with a four-porch pattern, chambers on two floors, a long gate, and various decorations such as Mogharnas, mosaic, and seven-colored tiling with distinguished motifs and colors. This building is significant enough that it has been mentioned in almost all historical references and tourists’ travelogues in different eras. This school is significant from the architecture and architectural decoration, especially tiling, points of view; and according to professor Pirnia, it is one of the most perfect schools in Iran from the plan and architectural decorations point of view. One of the obvious characteristics in the tiling decoration of this building is the existence of different motifs in various styles. In addition, the tiling in this building has a quite different color compared with tiling in Safavid era buildings. Another point is the impressive similarity of its convergent ceiling tiling with the dome ceiling tiling of Sheikh-Lotf-o-Allah mosque in Isfahan.[1]
