This lavishly illustrated volume presents the major surviving
monuments of the early period of the Rum Seljuqs, the first major
Muslim dynasty to rule Anatolia. A much-needed overview of the
political history of the dynasty provides the context for the study
of the built environment which follows. The book addresses the most
significant monuments from across the region: a palace, a minaret
and a hospital are studied in detail, along with an overview of the
decorative portals attached to a wide array of different building
types. The case studies are used to demonstrate the key themes and
processes of architectural synthesis and development that were
under way at the time, and how they reflect the broader society.
