The Value of Arabic Literary Sources --Bibliography --IndexFrom the stony desolation of Jordan's desert, it is but a step through a doorway into the bath house of the Qusayr 'Amra hunting lodge. Inside, multicolored frescoes depict scenes from courtly life and the hunt, along with musicians, dancing girls, and naked bathing women. The traveler is transported to the luxurious and erotic world of a mid-eighth-century Muslim Arab prince. For scholars, though, Qusayr 'Amra, probably painted in the 730s or' 740s, h'as proved a mirage, its concreteness dissolved by doubts about date, patron, and meaning. This is the first book-length contextualization of the mysterious monument through a compelling analysis of its iconography and of the literary sources for the Umayyad period. It illuminates not only the way of life of the early Muslim elite but also the long afterglow of late antique Syria.Transformation of the classical heritage ;36.Art and the Umayyad elite in late antique SyriaMural painting and decoration, UmayyadJordanForeign influencesArabic poetry622-750History and criticismabbasid.abd al malik.al azraq.al buldn.alois musil.amir.ancient art.apodyterium.arab.arabic poetry.arabic.architecture.art history.bath house.baths.captive woman.court life.dancing girls.decorative arts.desert.dynasty.femininity.frescoes.gender.hunt.hunting lodge.iconography.iran.islam.jordan.khusraw.late antiquity.middle east.monument.murals.musicians.muslim.mythology.negus.nonfiction.ode.persia.prince.princess.qusayr amra.roderic.royal court.self fashioning.shaykh musa.syria.umayyad.women.Mural painting and decoration, UmayyadForeign influences.Arabic poetryHistory and criticism.751.7/3/0956959Fowden Garth442889MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248228803316Qusayr 'Amra1689543UNISA02595nam0 2200493 i 450 VAN005234420240213091034.452978-35-404-3121-320060914d2002 |0itac50 baengDE|||| |||||Quantum cohomologylecture given at the C.I.M.E. summer school held in Cetraro, Italy, June 30-July 8, 1997K.
