This is the first booklength study of the art and architecture of the Fatimids, the Ismaili Shi'i dynasty that ruled in North Africa and Egypt from 909 to 1171. The Fatimids are most famous for founding the city of alQahira (Cairo) in 969, and their artparticularly textiles and luster ceramics, but also metalwork and carved rockcrystal, ivory and woodworkhas been admired for nearly a millennium. In this engaging and accessible book, Jonathan M. Bloom concentrates on securely dated and localized examples of Fatimid art and architecture. His discussions focus on significant examples and are illustrated with over 100 photographs, many in color, and extensive notes and bibliography provide guidance for further reading and research.Published in association with The Institute of Ismaili Studies
