Fruit of Knowledge, Wheel of Learning (Vol II): Essays in Honour of Professor Robert Hillenbrand: Essays in Honour of Professor Robert Hillenbrand Volume 2 (Art) - Hardcover
Synopsis
An impressive collection of essays by distinguished scholarly authors to celebrate the career of Robert Hillenbrand.<br /><br /> Carole and Robert Hillenbrand are acclaimed academics who have made immense contributions to the fields of Islamic history and art history. The respect and affection of the academic community towards them is legendary. These two formidable scholars represent a team in every sense of the word, the veritable ‘power couple’ of Middle Eastern historical studies who work together to be a force multiplier for the discipline. This is not the first festschrift either scholar has received, but it is perhaps the first to recognise the collective nature of their endeavour, and it a testament to their post-retirement energy and passion. The volume for Robert encompasses a number of his wide-ranging interests, with one section devoted to architecture, a second to painting and calligraphy, and a third to the iconography and context of objects, with two essays filling previous gaps in our understanding by introducing little-known or misattributed pieces: an inlaid metal dish with a Nilotic scene of the eighth century and a carved ivory flask of the Ayyubid period.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Collected essays honoring the work of British professors Carole and Robert Hillenbrand. Carole and Robert Hillenbrand are legendary British professors, both of whom have made immense contributions to the fields of Islamic history and art history, and they are highly respected and beloved by the academic community. For these two volumes, editors Melanie Gibson and Ali Ansari have gathered an eclectic mix of scholarly contributions by colleagues and by some of their most recent students who now occupy positions in universities worldwide. The eleven articles in the volume dedicated to Carole Hillenbrand include research on a range of topics, including the elusive Fatimid caliph al-Zafir, a crusader raid on Mecca, and the Persian bureaucrat Mirza Saleh Shirazi's history of England. In Robert Hillenbrand's volume, the thirteen articles include studies of a rare eighth-century metal dish with Nilotic scenes, Chinese Qur'ans, the process of image-making in both theory and practice, and a shrine in Mosul destroyed by ISIS.
