{"product_id":"arab-painting-anna-contadini-9789004729544","title":"Arab Painting: Text and Image in Illustrated Arabic Manuscripts","description":"Arab painting, preserved mainly in manuscript illustrations of the 12th to 14th centuries, is here treated as an artistic corpus fully deserving of appreciation in its own terms, and not as a mere precursor to Persian painting. The book assembles papers by a distinguished list of scholars that illuminate the variety of material that survives in scientific as well as literary manuscripts. Because of the contexts in which the paintings appear, a major theoretical concern is, precisely, the relationship of painting to text. It rejects earlier scholarly habits of analysing paintings in isolation, and proposes the integration of text and image as a more satisfactory framework within which to elucidate the characteristics and functions of this impressive body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Contadini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004729542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004729544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 8.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Anna Contadini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874303324415,"sku":"9789004729544","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arab-painting-anna-contadini-9789004729544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
