With the development of the concept of context, text is not just the criterion of context, and any interpretability phenomenon can be regarded as context. Therefore, any contextual phenomenon can be studied using text reading methods. The main question of the present research is studying the way of reflection of blue and white porcelain in Shah- Tahmasebi’s Shahnameh based on Gonette’s transtextuality theories. Accordingly, the main purpose of this research is examining the blue and white porcelain depicted in this Shahnameh, and finding documented samples in considered porcelain in the museum collection of Victoria and Albert, and analyzing their relationship from the perspective of Gonette’s transtextuality theories. In this descriptive-analytical study, based on library sources and purposive sampling, it is tried to study and analyze the blue and white porcelain depicted in Shah- Tahmasebi’s Shahnameh paintings with the samples in the Victoria and Albert Museum transtextuality. The most important result of the research is that based on the Gonette’s transtextuality views, the relation of illustrations in Shah- Tahmasebi’s Shahnameh as hypertext with the blue and white porcelain as pre-text is of the same type. In other words, although Iranian painting has never been merely a representation and the painter's world has been formed by his imagination, blue and white porcelains have been used as pre-text based on Gerrard Gonette's theories and assuming the hyper-text of the Shahnameh. 

Keywords: Safavid art, Shah- Tahmasebi’s Shahnameh, Blue and White Porcelain, Transsexuality, Gerrard Gonette
