In Islam, God is revealed through the "Word", the Koran, and it is this "Word" that is the foundation of all Moslem artistic expression. 'The Image of the Word' presents this approach in two volumes: Vol. I presents the arguments and conclusions drawn from the Indexes in Volume II, the latter which presents the documentation for the arguments.
