Erste Ausgabe dieser klassischen Monographie. - As Professor Azarpy makes clear, an assessment of the extent and significance of the Central Asian components of Islamic art requires recognition of regional distinctions within the vast Central Asian land mass that extends from Iran to China. Regional schools of Buddhist art in Serindia (Chinese Turkestan) were recognized in the early years of this century. Soviet excavations in western Turkestan have now further refined our knowledge of the less known non-Buddhist cultures along the western stretches of the Silk Route. As the westernmost extension of Central Asia, Transoxiana has now emerged as an embodiment of the legendary east Iranian land of Turan, described in rich detail in the Persian epics. - Papierbedingt kaum gebräunt *** *** Copyright: Matthaeus TRUPPE Buchhandlung & Antiquariat - Stubenberggasse 7 - A-8010 Graz - ++43 (0)316 - 829552 *** *** Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1200
