The arts of Iran in Istanbul and Anatolia: seven essays


Abstract

Many spectacular works of classical Persian art--miniature paintings as well as architectural decorations--survive to the present day, safeguarded in Istanbul and beyond. But the fragmentation of these works over time calls for careful historical research in reconstructing the history of the art. The seven essays in this book tell the story of this research, which aims to restore to their pristine glory the greatest visual treasures of Persian civilization.
