Muslim reverence for the Qur'an as the Word of God has manifested
itself in various artistic forms throughout history and up to the
present day. This innovative collection of essays explores creative
expressions of the Qur'an in a wide range of media. Contributors
include museum curators and leading academics in art and
architectural history, palaeography and material anthropology, and
their studies span four continents and cover topics from medieval
coins and early illuminated copies of the Qur'an to contemporary
painting. They offer a multidisciplinary approach to the questions
of how, why and in what contexts the Qur'an has inspired Muslim
artists and craftspeople to adorn the spaces they inhabit and the
objects they cherish with its verses. The volume includes 120
colour illustrations, some published for the first time, and an
extensive bibliography.
