Editorial Review | “RosenAyalon’s book is packed with much firsthand information and a very useful bibliography…. For the reader, this book can serve as a useful source of much interesting, yet littleknown, material on Islamic Palestine. With this book, RosenAyalon set herself a formidable task that is not fully accomplished. However, its shortcoming are perhaps unfairly highlighted owing to rapid improvements in contemporary Islamic archaeology and art, advances that leave us all scrambling to keep up.” —Alan Walmsley, Department of CrossCultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen for Australian Archaeology
“This volume is a very readable English translation of the first authoritative archaeological survey of Islamic times in Palestine…will be of great interest to researchers, students, and the general public interested in Islamic art and archaeology. Highly recommended.” —CHOICE Magazine |
