This book argues that the provenance of early modern and medieval
objects from Islamic lands was largely forgotten until the "long"
eighteenth century, when the first efforts were made to reconnect
them with the historical contexts in which they were produced. For
the first time, these Islamicate objects were read, studied and
classified - and given a new place in history. Freed by scientific
interest, they were used in new ways and found new homes, including
in museums. More generally, the process of "rediscovery" opened up
the prehistory of the discipline of Islamic art history and had a
significant impact on conceptions of cultural boundaries,
differences and identity. The book will be of interest to scholars
working in the history of art, the art of the Islamic world, early
modern history and art historiography.
