Islamic architectural ornamentation, beyond its aesthetic dimension, conveys religious and semantic meanings. Mosque inscriptions are among the important elements through which such meanings are communicated and commonly include Qur’anic verses, supplications, and divine names. In both the Jameh Mosque of Yazd and the Goharshad Mosque in Mashhad, the complete set of the 99 Names of God is incorporated into architectural inscriptions. Considering the differences in the historical context, architectural type, spatial position, and execution techniques of these inscriptions, examining the relationship between text and architecture requires an analytical framework. Therefore, this study aims to comparatively interpret the inscriptions of Asma al-Husna in the two mosques by employing Gérard Genette’s theory of transtextuality as an analytical framework. The main research question concerns how the relationships among the inscriptional text, architectural space, architectural genre, and modes of representation can be explained in the two mosques. The research adopts a historical-interpretive method with a comparative approach, using documentary studies and field documentation for data collection. The findings are analyzed through Genette’s five levels of transtextuality. At the level of intertextuality, both inscriptional ensembles refer to the same sacred textual source, namely the Names of God. At the level of paratextuality, the horizontal placement of the inscriptions beneath the main iwan vault in the Jameh Mosque of Yazd and their vertical placement on the minarets of the Goharshad Mosque produce different modes of visual encounter with the text. At the level of metatextuality, spatial organization contributes to different interpretive orientations. At the level of architextuality, the inscriptions acquire distinct formal and semantic characteristics within Ilkhanid and Timurid architectural contexts. At the level of hypertextuality, differences in script, color, and execution technique indicate formal and technical transformations of the text within different historical contexts. The main finding is that differences in the reading of Asma al-Husna are not merely the result of changes in the visual form of the inscriptions, but arise from differences in the network of relationships among text, space, architectural genre, and representation. Thus, Genette’s transtextual framework provides a systematic means of explaining how different readings of a single sacred text emerge within different architectural contexts.
