About this book
At Ukhaidir, a fortified palace in the Iraqi desert, Gertrude Bell found material for this 1914 study of early Islamic building. Her preface brings together what is known of how that architecture began and where its forms came from. It notes that the first conquerors were mostly nomads, and that their palaces were planned by Greek and Persian craftsmen from the lands they had taken. The book is dedicated to the German archaeologist Walther Andrae, and it has a subject index, a name index and a list of illustrations.
