In this monograph, Haldane addresses a significant genre of Arabic art of the 13th and 14th centuries which has previously largely been neglected. Drawing on extant examples held in a number of major libraries in Egypt, France, Turkey and Spain, as well as in important private collections, the author explores the sources and development of the Mamluk style, motifs, decoration and ornament employed and representations of humans and animals, among other important features of the art. Includes a catalogue of the complete holdings of such material in each of the library collections surveyed.
