“A descriptive entry and an illustration—seven in excellent color reproductions—of each of the more than 125 objects in various media that were included in the show … The five specialists’ papers that precede the catalogue offer a variety of perspectives on the artistic relationships between Islam and the Medieval West … The book constitutes a handbook of use both to the student and the specialist.
