This is the second of two volumes which consider in detail the art and
architecture of Islam, from Spain to India, from the 7th century to the
present day. This volume reflects Hillenbrand's principal interest: the
architecture of Iran during the Seljuq period (11th to 12th centuries).
Papers include discussions of mosques, mausolea, dome chambers, domestic
architecture and tilework amongst many other subjects. The first volume,
also available, encompasses a broad overview of the art and architecture
of the Islamic world. Volume II Contents: Safavid Architecture The
