Abstract:
This chapter discusses how competition between two Islamic empires launched a Golden Age for palatial architecture in the Western Mediterranean during the Tenth Century. Trying to outdo rivals and attain global representation, the Fatimid caliphs of North Africa and the Umayyad caliphs of Córdoba founded palatial cities on a scale not seen before in the west, and realized ambitious building projects. Each developed its own style of architecture, based in part on Abbasid prototypes, in part on local traditions. Prominent Fatimid sites include Mahdīya, Manṣūriya, Raqqāda, Aǧdābiyā, and Ašīr. For the Umayyads, the cities of Córdoba and Madīnat az-Zahrā’ as well as their “suburban” surroundings included architectural feats like the Dār al-Mulk, the Salón Rico, and the Munyat ar-Rummāniya. Together the achievements of both dynasties evince the increased importance of the beholder’s perspective in the Islamic architecture of the West— a development which may have influenced art in the Renaissance.

Abstract:
‘Out of Egypt’ considers how other cultures have engaged with ancient Egyptian art and architecture from the incorporation of Egypt in the Roman empire to the colonial era of Napoleon and beyond. Egyptian art became part of the classical heritage, but was also seen as strange and different. Did ancient Egypt deserve admiration or condemnation? Was it the source of Greek culture, as writers like Herodotus suggested, or was it part of darkest Africa or the exotic Orient (as later European thinking went) and thus nothing to do with ‘us’ at all? The legacy of ancient Egyptian art and architecture continues to shape contemporary relationships between the West, Africa, and the Arab world.

Abstract:
Born from the fields of Islamic art and architectural history, the archaeological study of the Islamic societies is a relatively young discipline. With its roots in the colonial periods of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its rapid development since the 1980s warrants a reevaluation of where the field stands today. This Handbook represents for the first time a survey of Islamic archaeology on a global scale, describing its disciplinary development and offering candid critiques of the state of the field today in the Central Islamic Lands, the Islamic West, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. The international contributors to the volume address such themes as the timing and process of Islamization, the problems of periodization and regionalism in material culture, cities and countryside, cultural hybridity, cultural and religious diversity, natural resource management, international trade in the later historical periods, and migration. Critical assessments of the ways in which archaeologists today engage with Islamic cultural heritage and local communities closes the volume, highlighting the ethical issues related to studying living cultures and religions.
