Publications

The Trust has financed a wide range of publications, the most recent being Image and Meaning in Islamic Art, edited by Robert Hillenbrand and published in March 2005. This publication arose from a symposium on Islamic iconography held in Edinburgh in October 1990.

Many of the images used within this website have been taken from a previous publication, Renaissance Venice, Islam and Mahmud the Kurd by Sylvia Auld, published in 2004.

The next publication, scheduled for 2007, will be Ayyubid Jerusalem, a major work edited by Robert Hillenbrand and Sylvia Auld. This will form a trilogy with Mamluk Jerusalem (1987) and Ottoman Jerusalem (2000) and will provide comprehensive coverage of the architecture of the Holy City from 1171 to 1917.
