Descrizione Wonder, Image and Cosmos in Medieval Islam
Untangles fundamental confusions about historical relationships among Islam, representational images, and philosophy. This book focuses on widely disseminated Islamic images of the wonders of creation, ranging from angels to human-snatching birds, and argues that these illustrated manuscripts aimed to induce wonder at God's creation.
