Called the "definitive book on Islamic Art" by S.H. Nasr, this beautifully illustrated masterpiece is presented in a revised, full colour, commemorative edition containing 285 new colour photos and a new Introduction.

Burckhardt provides an in-depth analysis of Islamic architecture, from Spain and Morocco to Persia and India and examines Koranic calligraphy and illumination, arabesque, carpets, rugs, Persian miniatures, and much more.
