From its birth in the 7th century through modern times, the Islamic
religion has inspired glorious works of art. This stunning book
includes more than four hundred reproductions of treasures of
Islamic art that span the world: from southern Europe, along the
entire Mediterranean basin to sub-Saharan Africa through the Middle
East, India, and Central Asia. Arranged geographically, the objects
include paintings, miniatures, ceramics, calligraphy, textiles,
carpets, and metal works. Each region is given a thorough
introduction that offers historical context and extensive
descriptions of its artifacts. Accompanying essays offer guidance
in interpreting the many themes that tie these works together,
including typology, calligraphy, and religious beliefs. With its
large format, exquisite reproductions, and extensive research, this
book is a thorough introduction to the Islamic artistic tradition.
