Abstract
Practical wisdom is one of the neglected fields in studying the theoric principles of Islamic art. One of the basic topics of practical wisdom which can be a
basis for discussing about aesthetics and craftsmanship, is human practice and its realtion with “justice” or in other words “equilibrium”. In early treatises of practical wisdom such as Tahḏib al-aḵlāq wa-taṭhir al-arāq written by Abū Alī Meskawayh, equilibrium is the pivot point of ethical discussions. In Aḵlāq-e Nāṣerī written by Ḵhāja Naṣīr-al-dīn Ṭūsī, equilibrium gradually implies some aesthetic aspects and becomes equivalent to concepts like unity, beauty and proportion. Davānī’s reflection on aesthetics in Aḵlāq-e Jalālī, consolidates his former discussions. Jāme’ al-sa’ādāt written by Mollā Mohammad-e Narāqī, is one of the last important treatises that confirms previous aesthetic ideas with a more religious approach. Reflecting on this intellectual process, a kind of aesthetic theory can be recognized which is based on equilibrium and states that there is a common meaning which is called equilibrium of humors when it
appears through four elements, harmonic melodies when it appears in musical notes, rhetoric when it appears in combination of words, beauty when it appears in members of a body and justice when it appears in human morality.

Abstract
Transtextuality theory of Gerard Genette offered a systematic classification in the field of intertextuality studies. This theory includes five main parts: Intertextuality, Paratextuality, Metatextuality, Architextuality and Hypertextuality. In this article one of Kamal al-Din Behzad’s artworks, namely “The Story of Yusof & Zoleikha” has been analyzed by these five parts of Transtextuality theory, in order to identify various dimensions of the painting. The questions are: Which one of Genette’s transtextuality applies to the painting of “The Story of Yusof & Zoleikha”? As a visual text, how is this painting to be identified in the transtextuality relationships? The method of this article is descriptiveanalytical and the data collection is library-based. Findings of the research show that the painting has definite intertextuality, like Quran, Bustan of Sa’di, Yusof & Zoleikha of Jami, and the implicit and visual intertextuality are seen in its forms and colors. The painting has moral-didactic architextuality. All interpretations and reviews related to this painting could be regarded as its metatextuality while it provides several paratextuality as well. This artwork is also considered as a hypertextuality that includes transposition.
