The Minbar of Saladin by Lynette Singer
The minbar of Saladin, an intricately designed wooden pulpit, was one of the masterpieces of Islamic art. Made in the 12th century, on Saladins conquest of Jerusalem, it was placed in the al-Aqsa Mosque, where it remained for almost 800 years. This book charts the difficult process of reconstructing the minbar from scratch.
'Will appeal to those interested in Islamic Art in general but to those with a particular interest in geometery it may open a door to a deeper understanding of Islamic Art' - Muslim World Book Review
