Críticas
'Doris Behrens-Abouseif's handbook is at its most fascinating and readable when it discusses the no longer extant Fatimid palaces and the Mamluke buildings within the Citadel.' Robert Irwin, TLS, may 1990. 'Man wird lange suchen mussen, um die gesammelten Fakten so komprimiert und ubersichtlich in einer Publikation vereinigt zu finden wie in diesem Band.' KM, Trialog, 1990. 'The most valuable...are the chapters on domestic architecture and buildings of the fourteenth century and later...' Jonathan M. Bloom, Journal Soc. Architectural Historians, 1991. '...un ouvrage de synthese pratique et fort utile...' Marianne Barrucand, Der Islam, 1992. '...extremely interesting...addresses both the scholar and the learned visitor of the city.' L.M., Environmental Design, 1990. 'The value of this book is that there is virtually none other like it.' Barbara Kencht, International Journal of Middle East Studies, 26. 'Like all the volumes of Muqarnas, and their supplements, this is a very comfortable book to handle and to read. All in all, a most welcome and highly recommended addition to the literature.' J.W. Allan, Journal of Islamic Studies, 1996.
Reseña del editor
Cairo has one of the highest concentrations of Islamic architectural treasures in the world. This introduction to the subject begins with an analysis of the Cairo's urban growth from the Islamic conquest in 641 through to the Ottoman Period and the reign of Muhammad Ali at the beginning of the 19th century. From that point, the reader is given a guided tour of the evolution of Cairo's Islamic architecture and an overview of its main styles through the investigation of monuments spanning 1200 years. Includes a descriptive catalogue of the major monuments from the early Islamic period through the Fatimid, Ayyubid, Bahri Mamluk, Circassian Mamluk and Ottoman periods.
