Review:
One of the most splendid achievements of holy architecture anywhere in the world, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem's Old City is sacred to Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. Its octagonal structure is adorned with carved marble and brilliantly colored ceramic tile, and its golden dome is the highlight of the city's skyline. Sumptuous color photography captures the glory of both exterior and interior--glass windows, lush mosaics, porphyritic columns, and exquisitely detailed carpets. In combination with a bibliography, glossary of Arabic terms, and scholarly introduction exploring the cultural and religious significance of the building, this book presents the most comprehensive and satisfying visual documentation of this magnificent structure ever published.
