Michael Rogers featured the Qastal prominently in a major article published in 1971 in which he discussed numerous occurrences of the redeployment of classical buildings—and the less frequent copying of classical decoration—in Syria and Anatolia in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. I offer the following thoughts on the Qastal in admiration of just one aspect of Michael’s unparalleled erudition. Michael Rogers entitled his article “A Renaissance of Classical Antiquity in North Syria,” and argued that the “localisation of the classicising decoration…and its restriction to a period of little more than fifty years suggests very strongly that it was indeed a revival.”2 The suggestion I would like to propose here is that we need to distinguish more exactly between adoption and adaptation; that there are only very few structures with ex professo evocations of the classical past, and that the intention behind these evocations differed widely—in short, that we are not dealing with a single phenome- non, but with a variety of responses that call for more nuanced readings.

  • MEMORIES of the PAST ? 'Classical' Or 'Sunni Revival' In
    MEMORIES OF THE PAST ? ‘Classical’ or ‘Sunni Revival’ in Architecture and Art in Syria between the Mediterranean and Iran in the 12th and 13th centuries Paper presented at the International Symposium on ‘The Islamic Civilization in the Mediterranean’ Lefkosa, Northern Cyprus, December 1-4, 2010 Stefan Heidemann, New York Abstract The 12th century saw a revival of Sunni Islam in the cities of Syria and northern Mesopotamia. It is also the period of muqarnas and geometrical star-pattern in Islamic art. Seemingly contradictory at the same time, Turkish princes adopted classical decorative forms in northern Mesopotamia and Syria; we find Greek, Roman, and Byzantine figural images on coins and decorative arts. Do we have a 'Classical Revival' (Terry Allen) or a proto-Renaissance comparable to Southern Italy and Sicily? What role do these images play in the cultural me- mory (Jan Assmann) and who is addressed? We do not find, however, any reference to the classicizing style in contemporary literature nor are there any people who seem to feel connected with classical antiquity. Other explanations have to be explored. With the economic blossoming in the middle decades of the 12th century, common Mediterranean forms and architectural decorations surfaced again. A continuity of classical forms is most visible in Fatimid Egypt. Muqarnas and geometrical star pattern arrived with the Iranian Saljuq elite in the Mediterranean. The new economic blossoming allowed a revitali- zation of regional classicizing traditions which can be interpreted as a renewal

The key features distinguishing Ottoman architecture in Rhodes (1523-1912AD) are the ornamental richness and the attention paid to the decorative side had been increasingly growing. Through what had reached us of the Ottoman period constructions, it would be apparent to us the tendency to decoration and that such decorative material had largely varied. Such ornaments had been represented in a number of types: * Floral ornaments * Geometrical ornaments. Keywords: Ottoman architecture, Ornamental elements, Floral ornaments, Geometrical ornaments, Rhodes. 1. Introduction Floral ornaments is meant by tried to bind between religion and plant ornaments every ornament relies in vegetable ornaments, as the some had its drawing or inscription on vegetable mentioned that the Moslem tendency to elements whether natural or altered from vegetable ornaments is a result of the nature in an image remote from its Koranic directives urging on avoiding the original one [1].

  • Introducing Hell in Islamic Studies
    CHAPTER � Introducing Hell in Islamic Studies Christian Lange In regard to the afterlife, scholars of Islam in the West have demonstrated a remarkably irenic temper, preferring to give far more attention to paradise than to hell. The Islamic hell, for the most part, has been viewed as no more than the mirror image of paradise, an ugly reflection of the beauties and the joys in heaven. Consequently, it has been considered a phenomenon of secondary logical and ontological order, as well as interest. The few general overviews of Islamic eschatology largely bypass the infernal regions,1 and the dedicated studies of the Islamic paradise, of which there are a fair number,2 cannot be said to be paralleled by the same number of scholarly forays into the Islamic hell.3 While the entry on paradise in the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam (1954–2005) counts eleven columns in the printed edition, its entry 1 The most widely cited studies of this kind are Smith/Haddad, Islamic understanding, and El-Saleh, La vie future, each of whom pays much less attention to hell than to paradise. Also shorter overviews tend in this direction. See, for example, the classic study by Meier, The ultimate origin; or the stimulating essay by Reinhart, The here and the hereafter. 2 Al-Azmeh, Rhetoric for the senses; Lange, Paradise in the Islamic religious imagination; Lohlker/Nowak, Das islamische Paradies; MacDonald, Islamic eschatology—VI; Raven, A Kitāb al-ʿAẓama; Rosenthal, Reflections on love; Schimmel, The celestial garden. See also the numerous studies of aspects of paradise in the Quran, for example Horovitz, Das koranische Paradies; Jenkinson, Rivers of paradise; Lange, The discovery of paradise; Neuwirth, Reclaiming paradise lost; O’Shaughnessy, Eschatological themes, 76–107; Tubach, Schönheiten; Wendell, The denizens of paradise.
