About This Item
New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2011. First. Hardbound. New; in shrink wrap. Bright blue cloth boards with color pictorial DJ, 336 pp., 276 color and BW figures. The giving of gifts--state, religious, and personal--is a practice nearly as ancient and widespread as human culture itself. This sumptuosly illustrated catalogue is the first investigation of gift giving and its impact on the development of art in the Islamic world. Gifts of the Sultan features more than 250 rare and costly works of art associated with gift exchange among the courts of Islam and with those of Byzantium, western Europe, and eastern Asia. Through this window it provides a broad and layered view of Islamic art and culture from the eighth through the nineteenth century.
