Description

Guide: Muslim Art. Over the last 50 years, research activity aimed at elucidating ancient archaeology has been diverted away from Muslim archaeology. This branch of modern scholarship is still in its infancy, and anyone wishing to plunge into the labyrinth of such complex and varied Islamic civilizations can experience a refined dilettantism, breathing in the intoxicating aroma of their artistic flowering. In 1904-1905 an attempt was made, for the first time at the Ecole du Louvre, to sketch out a history of the industrial art of Islam. Two institutions were ideally suited to organizing such teaching: the School of Oriental Languages and the Faculty of Letters of Algiers. The Archaeological Institute of Cairo, thanks to the persistent will of Maspero, trained by Egyptologists, and the School of Oriental Languages gave impetus to research in the field of Muslim archaeology. The libraries of Cairo, the librarians of the British Museum, and those at South Kensington provided numerous photographic documents from museums, which helped to create the rich illustrations that have become one of the most interesting elements of this book.
