This lavishly illustrated volume, with many of the 300 photographs being published in colour for the first time, features 19 articles by Bernard O'Kane on a wealth of topics in medieval Islamic art. O'Kane examines controversial subjects such as the Siyah Qalam album paintings and major masterpieces of both Arab and Persian illustrated manuscripts. He analyses Egyptian and Iranian examples of decorative arts including woodwork, textiles, ceramics and metalwork, from large-scale minbars to ivory boxes. And he explores epigraphic developments in Persian and Arabic, from the 10th to the 15th centuries in Egypt and Iran.
