Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 31.5 by 24cm., 415pp., numerous colour illustrations. The Cappella Palatina's place within the history of art is unique for it represents the visual amalgamation of three distinct cultures. The chapel combines a Latin basilica plan with a Byzantine central plan where the domed sanctuary and the walls of the nave and aisles are covered with Byzantine mosaics, but the ceilings of the nave and aisles are distinctly Islamic. The provenance of the craftsmen and artists who constructed and painted the ceilings has remained a question of speculation among scholars for more than a century and a half. Most contend the artists and craftsmen were imported from other areas of the Islamic world. Here the author questions long-accepted scholarly paradigms to consider the possibility that the central ceiling's construction and its painting are Sicilian innovations that were fostered and developed while the island was under Islamic rule (ca. 831-1072). The second issue explored by the author is the meaning of the ceiling's construction and program of decoration, one that expresses the marvels and wonders-the 'ajċa'ib-that is integral to Islamic thought and philosophy. The paintings comprise a visual manifestation of the oral traditions of the ancient Middle East and of the increasingly written documentation that occurred in the early Islamic period. In the Cappella Palatina they constitute a continuation of imagery that was used in the Muslim palaces of Palermo. They celebrate the worldly authority and magnificence of a highly cultured court and the myriad pleasures and duties of this royal majlis, and by extension, the Islamic vision of the heavenly realm.
