This book is written by two expert scholars. It tells a fascinating story about a period during the Middle Ages when cultures collided and made war on each other over issues of politics, religion, and wealth (much like the present day). With many views of the famous mosaics in Cefal, Monreale, and Palermo, its 275 color illustrations and four maps provide a beautiful visual complement to an authoritative text.

In this book, Lisa Reilly establishes a new interpretive paradigm for the eleventh and twelfth-century art and architecture of the Norman world in France, England, and Sicily. Traditionally, scholars have considered iconic works like the Cappella Palatina and the Bayeux Embroidery in a geographically piecemeal fashion that prevents us from seeing their full significance. Here, Reilly examines these works individually and within the larger context of a connected Norman world. Just as Rollo founded the Normandy 'of different nationalities', the Normans created a visual culture that relied on an assemblage of forms. To the modern eye, these works are perceived as culturally diverse. As Reilly demonstrates, the multiple sources for Norman visual culture served to expand their meaning. Norman artworks represented the cultural mix of each locale, and the triumph of Norman rule, not just as a military victory but as a legitimate succession, and often as the return of true Christian rule.

MUDÉJAR ART: Islamic Aesthetics in Christian Art reveals the fascinating exuberance of a unique cultural and artistic symbiosis that characterises Christian Spain after the Reconquista. The Mudéjars were Muslims allowed to stay in the reconquered territories. Their artists and artisans strongly influenced the culture and art of the new Christian kingdoms. In Aragon, Castille, Extremadura and Andalucía sumptuously decorated brick churches, monasteries and palaces illustrate perfectly the creative endurance of Islamic forms in Christian art between the 11th and 16th centuries in Spain. Thirteen Itineraries invite you to discover 124 museums, monuments and sites in Madrid, Guadalajara, Saragossa, Tordesillas, Toledo, Guadalupe and Seville (among others). With Index of Locations.

An Architecture of Light / Islamic Art in Algeria is the most recent title to be published in our series Islamic Art in the Mediterranean. This illustrated book is a thorough guide to Algeria’s Islamic artistic heritage, from the earliest trading routes in the Sahara to the cosmopolitan port of Algiers. It can be enjoyed as an armchair guide to Algeria’s museum collections and architecture, which are described in exquisite detail, or to inform travellers as they follow one or more of five different itineraries. The guide begins with an overview of the expansive cultural influence of Islam around the Mediterranean, beginning in the seventh century, and its transformation of art and architecture. The development of Islamic art through successive dynasties, from Damascus to Lisbon, is summarised through an examination of religious and secular architecture. A separate historical introduction revisits centuries of local religious and political strife in the region we now call Algeria, and their enduring legacies. Competing sects, rulers, tribes, militias, and profiteers all left their marks on diverse populations and indigenous cultures. The itineraries include excursions to mosques, museums, fortresses, tombs, and palaces in cities and rural areas. Regional customs, crafts and musical traditions are described in essays by local authors. On almost every page, vivid photographs of minarets, arches, carvings, tiles, jewellery, and landscapes accompany the text. Diagrams and building plans show both great and humble structures of daily life in cities and villages. From a sumptuous palace in Algiers to a hand-built dam in the highlands, from an adobe house in a remote valley to a whitewashed minaret in the plains, this guide takes the reader to places that document diverse cultural movements and their enduring monuments. Each site is described and illustrated, and side trips and scenic detours are suggested. Museum With No Frontiers is pleased to present this wide-ranging work. We hope that people around the world might use it to discover the Central Maghreb’s rich past. 192 colour illustrations | 17 black and white illustrations | 26 plans of monuments | 250 pages

This new MWNF Travel Book was conceived not long before the war started. All texts refer to the pre-war situation and are our expression of hope that Syria, a land that witnessed the evolution of civilisation since the beginnings of human history, may soon become a place of peace and the driving force behind a new and peaceful beginning for the entire region. Bilad al-Sham testifies to a thorough and strategic programme of urban reconstruction and reunification during the 12th and 13th centuries. Amidst a period of fragmentation, visionary leadership came with the Atabeg Nur al-Din Zangi. He revived Syria’s cities as safe havens to restore order. His most agile Kurdish general, Salah al-Din (Saladin), assumed power after he died and unified Egypt and Sham into one force capable of re-conquering Jerusalem from the Crusaders. The Ayyubid Empire flourished and continued the policy of patronage. Though short-lived, this era held long-lasting resonance for the region. Its recognisable architectural aesthetic – austere, yet robust and perfected ‒ survived until modern times. The Ayyubid Era: Art and Architecture in Medieval Syria describes eight thematic Itineraries including, among others, the cities of Damascus, Bosra, Homs, Hama, Aleppo and Raqqa.

The painted ivories of Norman Sicily count among the most original creations known from medieval Palermo. These small, lavishly decorated objects reveal the fascination of the Norman kings for Islamic art and culture. This is the first book to be devoted exclusively to the Sicilian ivories since 1939. The text, drawn from proceedings of an international conference held in Berlin in 2007, contains essays by Marianne Barrucand, Jonathan Bloom, Anthony Cutler, Thomas Dittelbach, Erica Cruikshank Dodd, Antony Eastmond, Barry Flood, Maria Vittoria Fontana, Eva Hoffman, Lucy-Anne Hunt, Mat Immerzeel, Adeline Jeudy, Martina Müller-Wiener, David Knipp, Mourad Rammah, Mariam Rosser-Owen, Avinoam Shalem, and Bas Snelders.
