Présentation de l'éditeur
They rather form a collection of historical essays concerning a few of those monuments which interested me particularly among the rich treasures of Moslem art to be found inC airo. I had begun to collect the materials for them before special war circumstances induced me to writeR ambles inC airo for the benefit of the soldiers stationed here, and, in that work, I purposely avoided a detailed mention of these mosques, hoping that I might yet carry out my previous intention. In the meanwhile, I utilised some of the materials for a few articles in the Cairo Sphinx, which will be found to be practically embodied in the present volume.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of Cairo's architectural treasures and the history behind them. Focusing on 10 religious structures built between 1160 and 1422, the author places them in chronological order, describing each within its social and historical context. The author includes the Mosque of Sultan Qaitbay, built by the penultimate Mamluk sultan, and the Mosque of Khairbek, built by a Mamluk emir in the 15th century. The author brings these monuments to life by narrating the intrigue and violence surrounding their creation, from the murder of a caliph to the assassination of a sultan. The depth of research in this book is truly impressive, with detailed descriptions of architectural features such as vaulted shops and ribbed ceilings complemented by an exploration of the political and religious maneuvering of the builders themselves, all of which make this book a must-have for anyone interested in Islamic history and architecture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330392836_0
