1 comments about Christian Mysteries (Sacred Symbols Series).

1. I find the editiorial review a good description of the textual content of the book. It provides leisurely, interesting read and the book has about 80 pages. It contains 80 illustrations (drawings and photos), of which about 40 are in color ! So, it is more a pictorial book than a book that goes into detail descriptions.

   This book is small and square in shape. Thus, the more complicating pictures (especially photos) lose detail when they are printed at that size. It would be more practical if the book is at least B5 size and more info provided.

   This book perhaps will ignite your interest in Christian symbols but not beyond that as the information is limited.

1 comments about THE MASTER SCRIBES: Qur'ans of the 11th to 14th Centuries AD (The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, VOL II).

1. Synopsis The Khalili Collection is the greatest collection of Islamic art in private hands; it is continuing to grow and improve. It contains a large and comprehensive range of Qur'anic material, covering the entire history of Qur'an production from the seventh to the twentieth century, including examples from centres as far apart as Spain and India. This is the second of four volumes cataloguing the Qur'ans in the Khalili Collection. Notable among the manuscripts in this volume is a Qur'an by the greatest calligrapher of the Middle Ages, Yaqut al-Musta`simi, which is exceptional in that it retains its original illumination. Other masterpieces include a Qur'an written in gold from twelfth-century Iraq; the only twelfth-century Qur'an from Valencia still in private hands; and a manuscript that is possibly the earliest Qur'an to survive from India. The lavish presentation of this catalogue is combined with detailed scholarship that not only encompasses the history of the subject, but also presents in accompanying essays new findings that have been made in the course of cataloguing. This book is intended for art historians, Islamicists, collectors and curators of Islamic art.

1 comments about Irish High Crosses: With the Figure Sculptures Explained.

1. This is a first-rate digest of Harbison's larger work, the definitive work on Irish High Crosses. My wife and I stumbled onto the book in a Kells bookstore. She was looking for examples of crosses featuring griffins -- and they are noted herein! Harbison maps the route to all the ancient crosses and gives a thumbnail sketch of iconography. Also a great gift to lovers of things Irish and arm-chair travelers. Thank you, Peter Harbison and artist Hilary Gilmore!
