ISBN: 9780748633753 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This beautifully illustrated history of Safavid Isfahan (1501-1722) explores the architectural and urban forms and networks of socio-cultural action that reflected a distinctly early-modern and Perso-Shi'i practice of kingship.
An immense building campaign, initiated in 1590-91 at the millennial threshold of the Islamic calendar (1000 A.H.), transformed Isfahan from a provincial, medieval, and largely Sunni city into an urban-centered representation of the first Imami Shi'i empire in the history of Islam. The historical process of Shi'ification of Safavid Iran and the deployment of the...

Persian Kingship and Architecture: Strategies of Power in Iran from the Achaemenids to the Pahlavis
ISBN: 9781848857513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the Shah went into exile and the Islamic Republic was established in 1979 in the wake of the Iranian Revolution, the very idea of monarchy in Iran has been contentious.

Slaves of the Shah: New Elites of Safavid Iran
ISBN: 9781860647215 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

This book describes how these elites, following their conversion to Islam, helped to transform Isfahan's urban, artistic and...
