Abstract: Beginning of 10th century coincides with the formation of the Safavid Dynasty. Founder of Safavid Dynasty was the first Shah Ismail with an artistic personality. Tabriz doctrine 2 was supported by Safavid government and formed on the basis of Turkmen and Herat arts. Support from art and artists in this period led to creation of art workshops both inside and outside the court and writing, painting and bookbinding prevailed in community as a cultural vocation. Whether there is significant relationship between the book layout graphism of Tabriz doctrine 2 and contemporary graphic principles? Current study is carried out by graphic approach and aims to introduce writing and page layout of a version of Shahnameh (948 AH/1540 AD) related to Safavid dynasty and Tabriz doctrine 2 and with descriptive-analytical method. Adaptation of book layout principles of that period with contemporary page layout principles show that common book layout graphism of Tabriz doctrine 2 is relatively similar to the contemporary page layout. Research findings indicate strict regard to page layout principles in that period and also its similar function in temporary art. Based on results, applied page layout principles of Tabriz doctrine 2 is often used now and has been defined in new graphic software.
