商品簡介
Art historians and scholars of Islam study the image of the Prophet Muhammad in both Islamic and non-Islamic spheres during the medieval and modern eras. Crossing disciplinary boundaries in the humanities, they consider the Prophet encountered, depicted, visualized, reformed and revised, and appropriated and applauded. Among the topics are the Prophet Muhammad in pre-modern Jewish literature, representation of the Prophet in Shi'ite Qajar Iran, a 16th-century European author portrait of Muhammad and medieval Latin traditions of Qur'an reading, the Prophet Muhammad as Arabian knight in a Spanish Qur'an translation of 1872, and Masonic fraternalism and Muhammad among the lawgivers in Adloph A. Weinman's sculpture frieze for the US Supreme Court 1931-35. Annotation c2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
