Reviews
By far the largest published assemblage of Islamic glass of the early-11th century. This is a work of reference of the highest importance for Islamic glass studies./div>--Daniel Keller Nautical Archaeology (08/21/2012)
The result is an intimate and detailed insight into industrial-level production of glass in a single factory, or a small closely related group of factories, in the Levant about 1025 CE. . . Exquisite drawings are supplemented by sufficient black-and-white photographs, and a lush colour section reveals the colours and delicacy of the glass finds. . . The third volume''s contribution to our understanding of this part of the ship''s story is happily anticipated, but it is abundantly clear that this work will be a much-used reference throughout the medieval Mediterranean world. its authors, and all those who made it possible, deserve sincere congratulations and appreciation for this contribution. --;br><br>--Cheryl Ward International Journal of Maritime History (06/23/2010)
. ..a comprehensive investigation of the largest known group of glass of that period. In short the publication is a colossal achievement and the detailed study of such a very wide range of forms will ensure that for the foreseeable future it is essential reading for everyone studying small fragments of everyday Islamic glass vessels from land-based sites. --;br><br>--Jennifer Price Antiquity (02/29/2012)
