About this book

Curates a selection of key articles by Bernard O’Kane that combine analyses of Persian monuments with overviews of the central elements of Iranian architecture

Studies monuments and architecture from the Greater Persian world, from the borders of Iraq to those of China
Situates the monuments within their social and political contexts
Includes important buildings from previously under-studied periods
Includes over 300 photographs, many published in colour for the first time

This lavishly illustrated volume – with many images previously unpublished in colour – collects 25 articles by Bernard O’Kane on a wide variety of topics pertaining to Persian architecture in its widest sense. His analyses range from historiography and tilework to the development of the domes of Iranian mosques. He covers the buildings of the major medieval dynasties – the Seljuqs, Ilkhanids and Timurids – as well as the formerly neglected monuments of the Chaghatai, Muzaffarid, Kartid and Jalayirid dynasties and Uzbek monuments in Afghanistan.
