Book Synopsis Splendours of an Islamic World by : Henri Stierlin
Book excerpt: The reign of the Mamluks marked a breathtaking flowering of Islamic art. Mamluk control of trade across much of the Middle East supported the artistic output that made Cairo, in the words of Ibn Khaldun, "the center of the universe and the garden of the world". This book shows off the majestic domes, courtyards, and soaring minarets that won Cairo its high praise. 170 color photos.
