Description

This comprehensive scholarly work examines the Great Mosque of Damascus, a celebrated architectural monument built in the early eighth century by Umayyad caliph al-Wal d b. 'Abd al-Malik. The author provides a detailed analysis using textual, visual, and archaeological evidence to reconstruct the mosque's formal and decorative features, situating it within its broader urban context. The study explores how this religious architecture functioned within al-Wal d's remarkable programme of architectural patronage, investigating both intracultural and intercultural dimensions of official Islamic visual culture. Part of the Islamic History and Civilization series (volume 33), this book offers specialists and students of Islamic architecture, art history, and cultural studies valuable insights into early Islamic architectural patronage and the role of monumental religious buildings in shaping visual identity during the Umayyad period.
