Hardback. Condition: As New. Geometric Concepts in Islamic Art (1976) by Issam El-Said & Ayse Parman ? World of Islam Festival Publishing Sold with reverent scruff by Crappy Old Books ? where the sacred meets the second-hand. 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. First published in 1976 as part of the World of Islam Festival, this edition is a cult classic among artists, architects, and anyone who?s ever fallen into a trance staring at a Mamluk mosaic. Our copy? The corners are soft, the pages slightly foxed, and the cover has the worn grace of an old prayer mat. The spine?s holding together?mostly. Crappy Old Books ? 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. The book is full size, as intended. Seller Inventory # 3834
