{"product_id":"hisba-arts-and-craft-in-ahmad-ghabin-9783447059329","title":"Hisba, Arts and Craft in Islam","description":"This book focusses on a historical and cultural aspect of medieval Islam: the market inspection (hisba) in the Muslim state and its impact on the development of arts and crafts. It is a pioneer work in Islamic studies in which this aspect is being studied from over-all historical and cultural points of view. The study deals with two main issues: the history of market inspection in medieval Islam where it tries to highlight some additional notes concerning the origin of the institution of market inspection in Islam and also emphasizes its cultural role in the Muslim society. The second issue focuses on the impact of the institution of market inspection on the development of the visual arts and crafts in medieval Islam. Methodologically, the study surveys the references to the crafts in the manuals of hisba and compares them with the information about these crafts as they run in reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahmad Ghabin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 344705932X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783447059329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harrassowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 126","brand":"Ahmad Ghabin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465552777471,"sku":"9783447059329","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ae08092-5345-42fd-b320-f36b36eae2ce.jpg?v=1736346586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hisba-arts-and-craft-in-ahmad-ghabin-9783447059329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
