In this important and timely publication, top international
scholars present current research and developments about the art,
archaeology, and history of the ancient city of Palmyra, a UNESCO
World Heritage site located in Syria. Palmyra became tragic
headline news in 2015, when it was overtaken by the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), which destroyed many of its
monuments and artifacts. The essays in this book include new
scholarship on Palmyra's origins and evolution as well as
developments from both before and after its damage by ISIS,
providing new information that will be relevant to current and
future generations of art historians and archaeologists. The book
also includes a moving tribute by Waleed Khaled al-Asa'ad to his
father, Khaled al-Asa'ad, the Syrian archaeologist and head of
antiquities at Palmyra, who was brutally murdered by ISIS in 2015
for defending the site. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of
Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
