Part scholarly study, part visual feast, Geometric Concepts in Islamic Art is a mind-expanding journey into the mathematical soul of Islamic aesthetics. Issam El-Said and Ayse Parman explore the intricate, symbolic geometry that underpins centuries of Islamic architecture, tilework, and manuscript design?with diagrams, commentary, and just the right amount of philosophical awe.

Enlightenment, lightly dog-eared. Exceptionally well cared for, near new condition with protective plastic sleeve. the scan has cut off bits of the left and right of the book as its wider than the scanner, but you probably didn?t notice.
