DESCRIPTION

[3], 263 pp; 16 maps, indices. HARD BACK Binding in d/w, title gilt on spine. Copy in Mint condition. New.Previous to 1914, Librairie du Liban, Beirut, 1972. Von Kremer, Mez, Karabacek and other distinguished German Orientalists had discovered notes on the textiles of early Islam in those texts available at the time and had published them in a rather casual and unsystematic manner. But the far wider range, ever increasing, of texts available in good editions today contains raw materials for research virtually inaccessible to those early authorities. In this book, which consists of articles originally published serially in " Ars Islamica", Serjeant discusses all aspects of Iraqi, Syrian, Egyptian, Persian, and other textiles of different Islamic countries.
