Historiography is the study of the methodology of writing history,
the development of the discipline of history, and the changing
interpretations of historical events in the works of individual
historians. Exploring the historiography of Persian art and
architecture requires a closer look at a diverse range of sources,
including chronicles, historical accounts, travelogues, and
material evidence coming from archaeological excavations. The
Historiography of Persian Architecture highlights the political,
cultural, and intellectual contexts that lie behind the written
history of Persian architecture in the twentieth century,
presenting a series of investigations on issues related to
historiography. This book addresses the challenges, complexities,
and contradictions regarding historical and geographical diversity
of Persian architecture, including issues lacking in the 20th
century historiography of Iran and neighbouring countries. This
book not only illustrates different trends in Persian architecture
but also clarifies changing notions of research in this field.
Aiming to introduce new tools of analysis, the book offers fresh
insights into the discipline, supported by historical documents,
archaeological data, treatises, and visual materials. It brings
together well-established and emerging scholars from a broad range
of academic spheres, in order to question and challenge
pre-existing historiographical frameworks, particularly through
specific case studies. Overall, it provides a valuable contribution
to the study of Persian architecture, simultaneously revisiting
past literature and advancing new approaches. This book would be of
interest to students and scholars of Middle East and Iranian
Studies, as well as Architectural History, including Islamic
architecture and historiography.
