This illustrated introduction offers a fresh approach to the
history of the Islamic world from its origins to the present day.
Told in six chapters, arranged both chronologically and
thematically, and richly enhanced with outstanding images, it
provides an illuminating insight into the material culture produced
from West Africa to Southeast Asia through art and artefacts,
people and places. From pre-Islamic works that provided a
foundation for the arts of Islam to masterpieces produced under the
great empires and objects that continue to be made today, this
expansive survey traces the development of civilizations at the
forefront of philosophical and scientific ideas, artistic and
literary developments, and technological innovations, exploring a
wealth of cultural treasures along the way. Texts are accompanied
by a wide variety of objects, including architectural decoration,
ceramics, jewellery, metalwork, calligraphy, textiles, musical
instruments, coins, illustrated manuscripts, and modern and
contemporary art, all of which shed new light on the Islamic world
both past and present. This book will inspire and inform anyone
interested in one of the most influential and diverse cultures of
the world.
