"Palace and Mosque at Ukhaiḍir - A Study in Early Mohammadan Architecture" is a 1914 work by Gertrude Bell that explores the origins and history of Islamic architecture. In this volume, she has brought together materials that relate to the earliest phases of Mohammadan architecture in order to consider and analyse the circumstances under which it arose and the roots from whence it sprang.

She became an important policy-maker in the British Empire as a result of her extensive knowledge and contacts, which she built up through her numerous travels in Mesopotamia, Greater Syria, Asia Minor, and Arabia. Other notable works by this author include: "Poems from the Divan of Hafiz" (1892), "The Desert and the Sown" (1907), and "Mountains of the Servants of God" (1910).

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
