"In addition to offering an overview of Pope's role in the study of Persian art, the book provides new insights into the historiography of Islamic art." – Sarah Piram, in: Abstracta Iranica 37-39 (2018) [http://journals.openedition.org/abstractairanica/42714]."Kadoi’s edited volume, which gauges the impact of American Orientalist Arthur Upham Pope (1881–1969) on the fields of Iranian art, architecture and archaeology, joins an ever-expanding literature on the historiography of Islamic art and architecture.... the papers introduce a variety of valuable perspectives and much that is new. We form a good understanding of the characters populating – and the life of – an unfolding field" – David J. Roxburgh, in: Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies (2018)
