'This is an original, provocative and stimulating work...in its insistence on the need to locate the production and reception of early Islamic architecture within a broader aesthetic context, and its use of literary sources to this end, it breaks new ground. It will undoubtedly forge a number of new and lively conversations on the history of Islamic architecture, but will also have a wide appeal to those working in the fieldsof art, history and literature of the Middle East.' Professor Finbarr Barry Flood, Institute of Fine Arts and Department of Art History, New York University 'There are many adjectives that could sum up this timely book: insightful, well-crafted, engaging... Alami's book needs to be ruminated and digested in order to be fully appreciated- not only by art historians but also by anyone who is interested in Arabo-Muslim culture.' Dr. Cleo Cantone, author of Making and Remaking Mosques in Senegal (2012)
