Synagogues in the Islamic World: Architecture, Design and Identity
by Mohammad Gharipour (Author),
Edinburgh University Press (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
This beautifully illustrated volume looks at the spaces created by and for Jews
in areas under the political or religious control of Muslims. Covering regions
as diverse as Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Spain, it asks how
the architecture of synagogues responded to contextual issues and traditions,
and how these contexts influenced the design and evolution of synagogues. As
well as revealing how synagogues reflect the culture of the Jewish minority at
macro and micro scales, from the city to the interior, the book also considers
patterns of the development of synagogues in urban contexts and in connection
with urban elements and monuments.
