About the Item
Painting in Islam: A Study of the Place of Pictorial Art in Muslim Culture.
Painting in Islam by Sir Thomas W. Arnold (1965-07-01).
Paintings in Islam indicates the place of painting in the culture of the Islamic word, both in relation to those theological circles which condemned the practice of it, and to those persons who, disregarding the prohibitions of religion, consulted their own tastes in encouraging it.
The author begins with a discussion on the attitude of the theologians of Islam towards painting, and the challenges which the art historian faces when studying Islamic art. Using over 60 illustrations, the author covers the origins of painting in Islam, the painters and their manner of working, as well as the subject matter of their paintings. One chapter is dedicated to the Buraaq, the beast on which the Prophet is said to have ridden when he made his ascension to heaven on the occasion of his night journey.

Romance and Reason Islamic Transformations of the Classical Past, 1st Ed
Located in valatie, NY
Romance and Reason: Islamic Transformations of the Classical Past by Roberta Casagrande-Kim, Samuel Thrope, and Raquel Ukeles. Princeton University Press, 2018. 1st Ed softcover with gilt edged pages. Within a century of the Arab Muslim conquest of vast territories in the Middle East and North Africa, Islam became the inheritor of the intellectual legacy of classical antiquity. In an epochal cultural transformation between the 8&10th centuries CE, most of what survived in classical Greek literature and thought was translated from Greek into Arabic. This translation movement, sponsored by the ruling Abbasid dynasty, swiftly blossomed into the creative expansion and reimagining of classical ideas that were now integral parts of the Islamic tradition. Romance and Reason, a lavishly illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition of the same name at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, explores the breadth and depth of Islamic engagement with ancient Greek thought. Drawing on manuscripts and artifacts from the collections of the National Library of Israel and prominent American institutions, the catalogue's essays focus on the portrayal of Alexander the Great as ideal ruler, mystic, lover, and philosopher in Persian poetry...
