This beautifully illustrated volume looks at the spaces created by
and for Jews in areas under the political or religious control of
Muslims. Covering regions as diverse as Central Asia, the Middle
East, North Africa and Spain, it asks how the architecture of
synagogues responded to contextual issues and traditions, and how
these contexts influenced the design and evolution of synagogues.
As well as revealing how synagogues reflect the culture of the
Jewish minority at macro and micro scales, from the city to the
interior, the book also considers patterns of the development of
synagogues in urban contexts and in connection with urban elements
and monuments.
