While the status of Christians was indeed reduced to        that of a tolerated community, the production of religious art within        such congregations was not brought to a halt (as the silence about it in        traditional art history might suggest). Rather, it simply continued, and        often very productively, under different precepts. While some examples,        such as the art of Mozarabs and Copts, are better known, Christian        artistic production in other Muslim contexts and in the period after the        Mongol invasion is less explored. Moreover, there have been few attempts        to integrate this body of art into mainstream art history.  The        workshop from which most of these papers were collected sought to        explore to what extent this art produced under non-Christian rule, when        collected together, irrespective of period and region, can serve as a        useful frame for analysis. It aimed to do so by bringing together        scholars working on different territories in the Islamic world between        the seventh and nineteenth centuries to present and discuss case studies        with a view to identifying common threads.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546401087831,"sku":"9789062583386","price":60.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/christian-art-under-muslim-rule-proceedings-of-a-workshop-held-in-istanbul-on-may-11-12-2012-9789062583386","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
