Beskrivning
Despite political upheavals under Muslim domination in the Middle Ages, Palestine was a center of great artistic activity recognized for its incredible dynamism. Its unique contribution to the Islamic “macrocosm,” however, never became the subject of extensive study. Numerous archeological excavations on this relatively small geographic area reveal the existence of extremely well preserved monuments of high architectural quality and exceptional religious value. This is what Myriam Rosen-Ayalon exposes in this thorough introduction to Palestinian Islamic art and archeology. In chronological order she presents here for the first time the multifaceted and long-lasting achievements of Islamic art in Palestine, filling the gap of years of neglect on the subject.

'This book presents the results of archaeological excavations and of principal monuments of Palestine. It traces the history of art of this region from the pre-Islamic period to the Ottoman period, providing evidence of its contribution to the Islamic civilization and art.' Archiscopie 'An invaluable presentation of an area of research still poorly understood...always presented in a fashion useful and amicable to students.' Historiens & Geographes 'An essential manual for those who want to study the Islamic period in Palestine.' Bulletin critique des Annales Islamologique 'An essential manual for those who want to study the Islamic period in Palestine. "" -Bulletin critique des Annales Islamologique 20 (2004) ""Interest in Islamic art and archaeology of Bilad-al-Sham has been increasing steadily over the past 20 years, but to date, no general work has appeared with a specific focus on Palestine, which has seen a great deal of this research activity. This new volume...intended by the author to present an overview of archaeological finds and the main monuments of Islamic Palestine, is therefore to be welcomed. [...] is a useful back ground work for undergraduate students inasmuch as it provides the most notable architectural and material culture features of Islamic Palestine.' Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research
