• "The art of orientation explores the origin, meaning and functions of the mosque through 116 selected artifacts from across the Islamic world. It employs an original and contemporary approach by incorporating essays from leading Arab and international authors, who provide fresh insights into the fascinating cultural history behind each of the objects. The contributors also illuminate the progression of the mosque from the humble mud-brick enclosure of the original Prophet's Mosque in Medina to the imposing stone structures of Cairo and Istanbul."--
