This volume, lavishly illustrated with many images previously unpublished in colour, features articles by Bernard O'Kane on a wide range of topics in medieval Islamic art. Controversial subjects such as the Siyah Qalam album paintings are examined in detail, as well as major masterpieces of illustrated manuscripts, both Arab and Persian. Egyptian and Iranian examples of decorative arts, including woodwork, textiles, ceramics and metalwork are analysed, from large-scale minbars to ivory boxes. And epigraphic developments in Persian and Arabic, from the 10th to the 15th centuries in Egypt and Iran, are explored.

The volume, lavishly illustrated with many images previously unpublished in colour, presents articles by Bernard O'Kane on a wide variety of topics pertaining to Persian architecture in its widest sense. These range from historiography and tilework to studies of buildings of the major medieval dynasties: the Seljuqs, Ilkhanids and Timurids. In addition, formerly neglected monuments of the Chaghatai, Muzaffarid, Kartid and Jalayirid dynasties are given their due prominence, as well as Uzbek monuments in Afghanistan. And the development of Iranian mosques and one of their essential features, domes, is studied.

The volume, lavishly illustrated with many images previously unpublished in colour, presents articles by Bernard O'Kane on a wide variety of architectural topics. These range from Morocco to India, and from the earliest periods of Islam to the present day. There is a concentration on monuments in Egypt and Syria, from analysis of borrowings between domestic and religious architecture to studies of individual buildings. Mutual influences between Iran and Egypt are also addressed.

This volume collects Yasser Tabbaa's investigative and interpretive articles on medieval Islamic architecture, ornament and gardens in Syria and Iraq, with comparative expansions into Anatolia, Egypt, North Africa and Spain. The monuments in question, many of which have vanished in recent years, are examined within the context of the political divisions and theological ruptures that characterised the Islamic world between the 11th and 13th centuries. The writings cover such significant forms as muqarnas vaulting, proportioned Qur'anic scripts and cursive public inscriptions, and monument types such as the madrasa, the hospital, the tribunal (dar al-'adl) and the citadel palace. Collectively, they present medieval Islamic architecture as a transformative process that echoes Abbasid glory and signals future developments in later Islamic architecture.
