History
[edit | edit source]
It takes its name from the fact calligrapher ‛Abdallah Sayrafi[1] and his pupil Hajji Muhammad Bandgir worked both on the mosque. It was built during reign of Suleiman Khan and was financed by Ala al-Din Hasan Kuchak.[2] Due to these reasons, it is also called ʿAlāʾīya (Persian: علائیه) after Hasan or Solaymānīya (Persian: سلیمانیه) after Suleiman Khan.[3]
The mosque was damaged several times due to numerous earthquakes in the area, especially during 1641 earthquake, and the original inscriptions were lost. Jean Chardin reported that the mosque was in semi-ruined situation when he visited. It was renovated on the orders of Abbas Mirza, later by Mirza Muhammad Qarajadaghi-Avansari in 1916 and finally Muhammad Agha Ardabili in 1959.
