Inspired by Ettinghausen and Grabar’s original text, this book has been completely rewritten and updated to take into account recent information and methodological advances. The volume focuses special attention on the development of numerous regional centers of art in Spain, North Africa, Egypt, Syria, Anatolia, Iraq, and Yemen, as well as the western and northeastern provinces of Iran. It traces the cultural and artistic evolution of such centers in the seminal early Islamic period and examines the wealth of different ways of creating a beautiful environment. The book approaches the arts with new classifications of architecture and architectural decoration, the art of the object, and the art of the book. With many new illustrations, often in color, this volume broadens the picture of Islamic artistic production and discusses objects in a wide range of media, including textiles, ceramics, metal, and wood. The book incorporates extensive accounts of the cultural contexts of the arts and defines the originality of each period. A final chapter explores the impact of Islamic art on the creativity of non-Muslims within the Islamic realm and in areas surrounding the Muslim world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Country Of Origin | India | | Dimensions | 28.4 x 21.49 x 2.13 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | Importer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Isbn 10 | 0300088698 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0300088694 | | Item Weight | 1 kg 470 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Print Length | 344 pages | | Publication Date | 1 March 2001 | | Publisher | Yale Univ Pr | ## Images ![Islamic Art and Architecture 650-1250 (Yale University Press Pelican History of Art) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tbGYpKayL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived in great condition *by on Reviewed in the United States 1 November 2024* I was very pleased with the condition of the book and speed of service. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommend! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 March 2020* Beautiful book, beautiful pictures and full of information.

Insomma, un volune esaustivo e che gode d'uno sviluppo grafico raffinato (foto grandi, nitide e in alta risoluzione).Stessa importanza viene però dadicata anche alla saggistica: è presente una completa narrazione della cultura e dell'arte islamica; un discorso storico che puntualmente contestualizza e affianca l'organico grafico, sicché non ne fa un semplice catalogo, ma un vero e proprio volume di saggistica, esaustivo (senza avere nulla da invidiare ai più classici cataloghi/volumi illustrati).Per quanto in un inglese mai troppo tecnico e specializzato, l'ambito è prettamente accademico; per quanto riguarda la saggistica, sicuramente è destinato a studenti e specialisti.Tuttavia può rivolgersi anche agli appassionati, grazie al suo corredo d'immagini ed ad un linguaggio mai iperspecializzato.Aggiornato e autorevole, a tutti gli interessati, consigliato. ## Frequently Bought Together - Islamic Art and Architecture 650-1250 - The Art and Architecture of Islam, 1250–1800 (The Yale University Press Pelican History of Art Series) - Islamic Art: Architecture, Painting, Calligraphy, Ceramics, Glass, Carpets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/224997195-islamic-art-and-architecture-650-1250-yale-university-press-pelican](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/224997195-islamic-art-and-architecture-650-1250-yale-university-press-pelican) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
