Studies in the Decorative Arts of the Muslim World (Hardcover)

Although Ernst Grube has made the study of painting in the Muslim world a principal concern, he has also dealt with other aspects of Islamic art in some depth. Over the last three decades he has published a large number of studies dealing with specific materials: metal-work, stucco decoration, textiles, and especially pottery. Of the twelve selected articles from these areas of Professor Grube's research published in this volume, six are concerned with pottery, one deals with Ilkhanid stucco work as represented in the mausoleum of the Shaykh Muhammad ibn Bakran, near Isfahan, and four deal with the decorative arts of the Timurid period. This last group is accompanied by an extensive bibliography on Timurid decorative arts which should be particularly welcome as much of this material is difficult to access and much of it is originally in Russian. All articles are offered here with both additional notes and a considerably enhanced number of illustrations which greatly adds to the interest and value of the original publications.
