Ustad Isa Shirazi ((ペルシア語:استاد عيسى شیرازی) translation ''Master Isa'') was a Persian architect, often described as the chief architect of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. The lack of complete and reliable information as to whom the credit for the design belongs, led to innumerable speculations. Scholars suggest the story of Ustad Isa was born of the eagerness of the British in the 19th century to believe that such a beautiful building should be credited to a European architect. Local informants were reported to have sated British curiosity regarding the origins of the Taj by also supplying them with fictitious lists of workmen and materials from all over Asia. Typically, he is described as a Persian architect. Recent research suggests the Persian architect, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri was the most likely candidate as the chief architect of the Taj, an assertion based on a claim made in writings by Lahauri's son Lutfullah Muhandis.〔(UNESCO advisory body evaluation )〕〔Asher, p.212〕〔Begley and Desai, p.65〕〔http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00islamlinks/ikram/part2_14.html〕 ==See also== *Taj Mahal *Mughal architecture *Shah Jahan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ustad Isa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
