Reviews

L'auteur nous offre une belle synthese des travaux anterieurs a ce sujet tout en proposant une interpretation nouvelle de certaines images. - Aida El Hiari, Sorbonne-Universite, Bulletin critique des Annales islamologiques 35 (2021). Da'adli's book gives a good impression of the process of decoding paintings of the late Timurid period during more than forty years of scholarship and provides some new interpretations. - Ilse Sturkenboom, University of St Andrews, UK, Der Islam 97: 1 (2020).
