Excerpt - Back Cover:
Until they began their conquests, which rapidly engulfed half of the known world, the Arabs were totally innocent of any architectural tradition. Yet, from the middle of the seventh century for a period of nearly eight hundred years, the Muslims developed an architectural identity quiet outside the influence of the Christian West, an identity relat4ed to Western forms only tangentially through the principles of late Roman and Hellenic styles as they were modified in Early Byzantine and Near Eastern designs.
