The essays in this book trace a rich continuum of artistic exchange that occurred between successive Islamic dynasties from the twelfth through nineteenth centuries as well as the influence of Islamic art during that time on cultures as far away as China, Armenia, India, and Europe. Taking advantage of recent technologies that allow new ways of peering into the pasts of art objects, the authors break new ground in their exploration of the art and architecture of the Islamic world. The essays range across a variety of topics. These include a look at tile production during the reign of the Qaytbay, the book bindings associated with Qansuh al-Ghuri, and the relationship between Mamluk metalwork and that found in Rasulid Yemen and Italy. Several essays examine inscriptions found on buildings of the Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman periods, and others look at the debt of European lacquer works to Persian craftsmen, the Armenian patrons of eighteenth-century Chinese exports, and the influences of Islam on art and architecture found all across India. The result is a sweeping but deeply researched look at one of the richest networks of artistic traditions the world has ever known.

¿Hay arte islámico o sólo arte dentro del Islam? ¿Responde a preceptos doctrinales? ¿Cuáles son sus parámetros estéticos y sus límites geográficos y temporales? ¿Cuál es su lenguaje específico? ¿Cuál su iconografía propia? En busca de respuestas, el autor explora el intenso diálogo estético que se dio entre la civilización islámica y sus antecesoras -griega, persa, judía y cristiana- para luego identificar tres grandes temas iconográficos en el Corán: el jardín del Paraíso, la victoria apocalíptica del Islam y los cielos coránicoa, con sus respectivas proyecciones sobre formas arquitectónicas características e inconfundibles. El misterio y la magia de dichas proyecciones radicas en su calidad ubicua, entre la evocación y la representación.
