Book Description
Professor Creswell explains how Muslim architecture was born' as well as describing; he cultural influences which helped to mould it and which were responsible for its early duality. As the seat of the Umayyad dynasty was in Syria, Umayyad architecture was dominated by the Hellenistic traditions of the Christian architecture of the country before the Arab conquest. But when the Umayyad dynasty fell and the seat of the Khalifate was transferred to Baghdad the effect was similar to the effect of the transfer of the capital of the Roman empire from Rome to Constantinople; everything became more eastern, i.e. Perisan, and the influence of the Hellenistic art of Syria weakened. Thus was born the Imperial art of the 'Abbasid Empire which extended as far north as Samarqand, as far south as Bahrain, and as far west as Egypt, whilst the half-Hellenistic Umayyad architecture lived on in Spain, whither it had been taken by 'Abd ar-Rahman, the last survivor of the Umayyad family, and the thousands of Syrian refugees who followed him. This book, which is based on his larger work in two folio volumes published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, in 1932 and 1940, contains 72 plates and over 60 drawings.
