Recenzii
This comprehensive book, with hundreds of accurate plans, many of them available nowhere else, is destined to become a standard reference on western Islamic architecture. New archaeological research in the past decade, some of it conducted by the author himself, has provided fresh insights into how architectural form endures or transitions, as well as how architecture is sited with respect to environment. Arnolds meticulously researched, comparative study of 75 palaces provides a thorough, up-to-date survey of palatine architecture in Islamic Iberia and the Maghreb.
This a fascinating tour through the architectural creations through which Caliphs, Sultans and others rulers of the Muslim territories of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa demonstrated their power before subjects and rivals by refined and luxurious residences. This book allows us, through Arnolds in-depth and thoughtful analysis, to understand the genesis and evolution of this architecture and to revive moments of splendor of a civilization that reached cultural summits in the Middle Ages without comparison in Western Europe.
