Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 281 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), plans ; 30 cm. Summary: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.…

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2026. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf - Reliure éditeur cartonnée illustrée. Format 30 x 21 cm. ------- 256 pages. 148 illustrations. ******************** "" Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire et l'héritage politique, culturel et artistique du sultanat des Mamlouks (1250 1517), l'une des grandes puissances du monde médiéval, à la fois redoutable force militaire et foyer artistique majeur. Esclaves militaires d'origine majoritairement turque puis caucasienne, les Mamlouks ont construit leur légende sur leur puissance guerrière. De 1250 à 1517, le sultanat mamlouk a vaincu les derniers bastions des croisés, combattu et repoussé la menace des Mongols, survécu aux invasions de Tamerlan et maintenu à distance ses menaçants voisins turkmènes et ottomans avant de succomber à l'expansionnisme de ces derniers. Il embrasse un vaste territoire qui comprend l'Égypte, le Bilad al-Sham (Syrie, Liban, Israël/Palestine, Jordanie), une partie de l'est de l'Anatolie et le Hedjaz en Arabie où sont situées La Mecque et Médine. Mais l'histoire du sultanat mamlouk ne saurait se limiter à ses conquêtes et faits d'armes. Sa culture tout aussi complexe et protéiforme que sa société participe d'une époque médiévale méconnue et singulièrement mouvante. Un monde où se croisent sultans, émirs, riches élites civiles activement engagés dans le mécénat. Une société plurielle où les femmes comme les minorités chrétiennes et juives ont une place. Un autre « empire du Milieu » où convergent l'Europe, l'Afrique et l'Asie et au sein duquel les personnes et les idées circulent au même titre que les marchandises et les répertoires artistiques. Mamlouks L'héritage d'un empire présente près 150 uvres (dont une partie provient des collections du Louvre et du musée des Arts Décoratifs). Textiles, objets d'art, manuscrits, peintures, ivoires, décors de pierre et de boiserie dévoilent un monde artistique, littéraire, religieux et scientifique foisonnant. Le sultanat est alors le c ur culturel du monde arabe et l'héritier de hautes traditions. La culture visuelle mamlouke marquera durablement l'histoire de l'architecture et des arts. Visant à aborder dans toute son ampleur et sa richesse cet âge d'or du Proche-Orient islamique, en l'inscrivant dans une perspective transrégionale, ce catalogue offre une occasion inédite de découvrir cet empire glorieux et pourtant méconnu, à travers des chefs-d' uvre venus du monde entier, et offre un autre regard sur l'Égypte et le Proche-Orient médiévaux, alors au centre des échanges entre l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Europe."" *********************** fav-02-06.…
