The Minbar of Saladin: Reconstructing a Jewel of Islamic Art Hardcover – 20 Oct. 2008

I'm glad that the minbar in al aqsa mosque was finally remade after all those years

Great quality book illustrations plenty fantastic book to learn and understand what went into remaking this fantastic peace of work/art

beautiful package and fast delivery.

Beautiful Book!

I watched the documentary on TV. I bought the DVD (Stairway to Heaven)and book and sent them off to loved ones around the world. Now I must order more. You see once you have seen something so amazing you want to hold onto it. I am none of the clever people in the title but we can all be lovers of beautiful things. Clever people will understand and enjoy this book with its precise geometric drawings and how mathematics and art and religion are connected. I just want to look at it and be amazed. I am not interested in religion and this book is not concerned with religion....... it illustrates an amazing story that stretches over hundreds of years and how human beings from totally diverse backgrounds can come together to recreate an art form that was so nearly lost. Buy it for the clever people you know but make sure you keep one on the coffee table for you.
