This entirely new volume illuminates the complex intersection of
western and eastern culture and civilization in the Eastern
Mediterranean during the period of the Crusades from the eleventh
to late thirteenth century; in particular it presents and studies
20 Byzantine and Mamluk Egyptian artworks and illuminated
manuscripts drawn both from the collections of the Museum and
external loans. The diverse artworks-ceramic bowls, Sgraffito ware,
gold coins, glass jewellery and leaves from the Qur'an, and other
illuminated manuscripts-are presented in broad chronological and
thematic sections, each with an introductory text by a Professor
Martin Bommas of the Museum, and other guest authors. These
sections look at these objects within the broad context of the
Crusades and the history of the Byzantine Empire and Mamluk Egypt,
as well as considering reception to, and presentation of, Mamluk
heritage in modern-day Cairo, and the reception of object of
non-European heritage in Australia. In addition to the main
sections and presentation of the objects, many also illustrated
using wonderful colour details for the section openers, the volume
includes a timeline, selected bibliography and brief biographies of
the contributing authors.
