Ayyubid Jerusalem (1187–1250):
An Architectural and Archaeological Study
by Mahmoud K. Hawari
The Abduljawad Senior Research Fellow,
The Khalili Research Centre, University of Oxford
|
| Date: 27 Jun 2007 |
| Description: The Kenyon Institute and the Educational Bookshop
invite you to a book launch:
Wednesday 27 June 2007,
6:00 pm
The conquest of Jerusalem by Salah al-Din in 583/1187, after nearly nine decades of Frankish rule, opened a new era of cultural, socio-economic and architectural changes. The Ayyubids initiated an extensive building activity, which signified a renaissance in the style of Islamic architecture. Such style is exemplified in a large variety of monuments which would come to influence the magnificent Medieval Islamic architecture of Jerusalem. This research provides a comprehensive architectural and archaeological study of the Ayyubid monuments that still remain in the Old City of Jerusalem. At the core of the book is a catalogue of the extant Ayyubid buildings in Jerusalem. These are grouped chronologically, with detailed architectural, archaeological and historical analysis, as well as interpretations of their structural evolution. Black-and-white photographs and drawings of plans, sections, elevations and other illustrations of these buildings are included.
We look forward to see you at the launch. A short talk will be followed by refreshments.
Copies of this book are available at the Educational Bookshop, Salaheddin Street, for 200 shekel, and for 10% discount on copies purchased at the launch.
