Table of ContentsReviewsThis is a remarkable book, which I highly recommend. Its focus is the Takkiyya Mu'avin al-Mulk and its rich decorative programmes. The author paints around these a colourful, and highly informative, picture of Iranian Shi’ism, its rites and its ceremonies. In addition, she brings to life the Takkiya’s wealthy merchant patron within the setting of early 20th century Iranian society and the country’s constitutional movement. * James Allan, Professor, University of Oxford, UK * This is a remarkable book, which I highly recommend.
