This volume collects Yasser Tabbaa’s investigative and interpretive articles on medieval Islamic architecture, ornament and gardens in Syria and Iraq, with comparative expansions into Anatolia, Egypt, North Africa and Spain. Tabbaa examines the monuments, many of which have vanished in recent years, within the context of the political divisions and theological ruptures that characterised the Islamic world between the 11th and 13th centuries.

Discusses monuments in Syria and Iraq, many of which have vanished without being properly studied
Explores innovations in medieval Islamic architecture within the shifting political and theological landscape
Reaffirms the centrality of the Abbasid Caliphate in these innovations and their dispersion throughout the Islamic world
Expands on the role of poetry in the transmission of garden and fountain types from the eastern to the western Islamic world
Investigates the unprecedented expansion of Shi’i shrines in Syria, largely due to Iranian patronage
