The Dome of the Rock

The late Oleg Grabar was the premier art historian of the Islamic architecture generally and the Dome of the Rock in particular. This is lavishly illustrated history of the building with both photos and drawings. The text is scholarly, but eminently accessible to the non-specialist reader.

Well written and informative about a unique monument. Appreciate the discussion of history which makes it easy to understand the changes that occurred in the building over the years.

Classic book by a major scholar. Indepth study of an important monument. Balanced, insightful. Useful both in the classroom and for the general reader
