Moorish Architecture by Marianne Barrucand
Spain owes its special historical position in Europe very largely to its intensive encounter with the Orient. Moorish-Andalusian art and architecture combine elements of various traditions into a new, autonomous style. This book describes the Great Mosque in Cordova and the Alhambra in Granada, the architectural witnesses to this achievement.
Marianne Barrucand read history, archaeology and history of art in Hamburg and Nancy, before obtaining her doctorate in the history of art in 1969. She went on to read Islamic studies at the Sorbonne, and, from 1971 to 1976, in Rabat, Morocco. In 1979 she submitted her professorial thesis in Islamic archaeology and art history, and since 1985 she has been Professor of Islamic Archaeology and Art History at the Sorbonne.
