The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture is the most comprehensive reference work in this complex and diverse area of art history. Built on the acclaimed scholarship of the Grove Dictionary of Art, this work offers over 1,600 up-to-date entries on Islamic art and architecture ranging from the Middle East to Central and South Asia, Africa, and Europe and spans over a thousand years of history. Recent changes in Islamic art in areas such as Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq are elucidated here by distinguished scholars. Entries provide in-depth art historical and cultural information about dynasties, art forms, artists, architecture, rulers, monuments, archaeological sites and stylistic developments. In addition, over 500 illustrations of sculpture, mosaic, painting, ceramics, architecture, metalwork and calligraphy illuminate the rich artistic tradition of the Islamic world. With the fundamental understanding that Islamic art is not limited to a particular region, or to a defined period of time, The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture offers pathways into Islamic culture through its art.

They discuss, for example, how the universal caliphs of the first six centuries gave way to regional rulers and how, in this new world order, Iranian forms, techniques, and motifs played a dominant role in the artistic life of most of the Muslim world; the one exception was the Maghrib, an area protected from the full brunt of the Mongol invasions, where traditional models continued to inspire artists and patrons. By the sixteenth century, say the authors, the eastern Mediterranean under the Ottomans and the area of northern India under the Mughals had become more powerful, and the Iranian models of early Ottoman and Mughal art gradually gave way to distinct regional and imperial styles.

This beautiful guidebook explores the medieval hill-fort of Mandu, 99 kms from Indore in Madhya Pradesh, described by emperors, historians and travellers as the City of Joy . The Malwa Sultans built exquisite palaces and mosques here between the 14th and 16th centuries. The ship-like Jahaz Mahal, moored, as it were, between two picturesque kunds that fill to the brim during the rains, Hoshang Shah s Tomb, said to have inspired the builders of Taj Mahal and Jami Masjid, conceived and executed like the Mosque of Damascus, stand testimony to the grand vision of their patrons. The book also traces the legend of the star-crossed love of the poet-prince Baz Bahadur and his beautiful consort, Roopmati. The Mandu Travel Guide includes a well-researched section on Indore, the gateway to Mandu, and nearby destinations such as the popular pilgrim destinations of Maheshwar and Omkareshwar, the district of Jhabua known for its colourful Bhagoriya festival and the 6th century rock-cut Bagh Caves.

"There is only one known copy of the Sultan's Book of Delights in existence and it is held in the Oriental and India Office Collections of the British Library (BL. Persian 149). The manuscript is illustrated with fifty elegant miniature paintings, most of which show the Sultan, Ghiyath Shahi, observing the women of his court as they prepare and serve him various dishes. The book is fascinating in that the text documents a remarkable stage in the history of Indian cookery whilst the miniatures demonstrate the influence of imported Persian artists on the style of the Indian artists employed in Ghiyath Shahi's academy."--Jacket.
