The Art And Architectute Of Islam 1250-1800
By
Sheila S. Blair
This beautiful book surveys the architecture and arts of the traditional Islamic lands during this era. This book has chronological and regional divisions and architecture treated separately from the other arts. The authors describes over two hundred works of Islamic art of this period and also investigate broader social and economic contexts, considering such topics as function, patronage, and meaning. They discuss, for example, how the universal caliphs of the first six centuries gave way to regional rulers and how, in this new world order, Iranian forms, techniques, and motifs played a dominant role in the artistic life of most of the Muslim world.
