: The inscription on the northern entrance of the Hakim Mosque written in Sols calligraphy on turquoise ceramics states that the

mosque was built during the reign of Shah Abbas II by Hakim (doctor) Mohammad Davoud entitled as Tagharrob Khan. The calligraphy for this

inscription was by Mohammad Reza Emami and it was written in 1073 AH (1662/3 AD): "In the reign of the Great Sultan and the generous Kingof Kings (Khaghan), master of subjects of numerous nations, master of the Persian and Arab nations, promoter of the religion of the innocentImams, Sultan the son of Sultan Ebi al-Mozzafar Shah Abbas The Second Moussavi Safavi Hosseinie Bahador Khan, may god preserve hisKingdom forever, this humbles subject of this merciful king, Mohammed Davoud Hakim entitled as Taghorrob Khan, may god preserve hisbenevolence and may god on the day of atonement grant upon him a high place, succeeded in completing the construction of thismosque. Written by Mohammad Reza Emami in the year 1073" (AH, 1662/3 AD).On the sides of the northern entrance the name of the master builder who built the portal is written on two small white inscriptions: "The work ofFaghir Mohammad Ali son of Master builder Ali Beik Esfahanie".

The rest of Honarfar describes the religious tables inside the Mosque which will be added at a later stage. There is one item from page 618which is interesting, it's a poem written inside two cells or chambers each hemistich of the following poem is written in siomple tri colourcalligraphy. The poem is rather strange, either it codifies a date using the Abjad Alphabeticcoding system or it is a religious pun where the nameHakim has a double meaning because the first hemistich could also be read as "The key to the door of knowledge is": "The key to the Hakim's

treasure is" "In the name of almighty merciful god"On the tablet on top of the northern entrance of this Mosque it is inscribed that the Hakim Mosque was founded by Mohammad Davoud entitledas Tagharrob Khan physician to Shah Abbas II (1642-1666 AD) and was completed in the year 1073 A.H. (1662/3 AD). This mosque wasconstructed in the same area as ancient mosque of Deylamid era called Jorjir or the Painters Guild,of which only the porch remainstoday. Chardin has written the - 1642) and Shah Abbas The

Because of some intrigue he fell out of Shah favour and he was afraid of worse things to come (death; one of Safi's first actswhen he came to the throne was to have 7 of his courtiers beheaded ) escaped to India and did so well there to become a verysuccessful, reputable and prominent person. According to the travel diaries ofBernier as soon as Hakim Davoud, who had a big part to play inthe war betweenAurengzib and his brothers, was called Arabshah (Hakim Davoud that is, the references to Arabshah or Arab Khan is a mistakeby Chardin and the English translator of Bernier's Travels has confirmed it ), established himself in a prominent position started sending plenty ofriches to his family in Isfahan, and either out of a sense of nationalistic feelings or because of a desire to keep his name alive, continued doingso (sending funds ) until the construction of the mosque was completed. Bernier as well as writing about his travels talks of Tagharrob Khan andthis is the same name or title as that of Hakim Davoud named in the tablet at the northern entrance of the Hakim Mosque.

The Tablet On The Eastern Entrance Of The Hakim Mosque Near the eastern entrance of the Hakim Mosque opposite the burial grounds of Haj Mohammad Ebrahim Kalbassi, poem is inscribed in whiteNastaliq calligraphy on blueceramic tiles which describes the commissioning of the mosque construction by Hakim Davoud during the reignof Shah Abbas II and the year construction began 1067 A.H. (It was a sign of grandeur in Iran for poets to be commissioned to describe

e pun on the nameDavoud or David with mystical reference to the prophet David paradise. The last line codifies the year of the construction using the AbjadAlphabet which is ancient coding system, which is an ancient system of using alphabet to codify numbers. This is an amazing feature of theIranians love for art and mathematics, the line is in perfect harmony with the rest of the poem yet it includes a coded number. ): In the age thatthe throne is adorned by the ruler of the revolving world, the king of kings. The Solomon of (his?) time, Abbas The Second, the shadow of god.Omniscient was made the sagacious physician Davoud. Who came to be called in the court of India as Tagharrob khan. That he must make hisway without delay to Isfahan. To lay the foundation of a mosque like Davoud paradise. It was through the efforts of the employer that in thesetimes there was constructed. An auspicious mosque like the solitary spiritual world . Pleasant place of prayer which liberates the mind in abenevolent manner. Date of construction is written clearly in this next part . The centrepoint of worship is now from Davoud of Isfahan, 1067

(A.H.-1656/7 AD )In between the above poems on a smaller plaquethere are lines describing repairs in later years.
