| Summary: | The volume, lavishly illustrated with many images previously unpublished in colour, collects 25 articles by Bernard O'Kane on a wide variety of topics pertaining to Persian architecture in its widest sense. O'Kane's analyses range from historiography and tilework to the development of the domes of Iranian mosques. He covers the buildings of the major medieval dynasties, the Seljuqs, Ilkhanids and Timurids, as well as the formerly neglected monuments of the Chaghatai, Muzaffarid, Kartid and Jalayirid dynasties and Uzbek monuments in Afghanistan. |
