Beschreibung
Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage contains twenty-seven essays addressing objects in the remarkable collection of Nasser David Khalili which features more than five thousand objects relating to the arts of pilgrimage dating from the eighth century to today, and includes Qur'ans, illustrated manuscripts, rare books, scientific instruments, textiles, coins, paintings, prints and photo-postcards, as well as archival material, unique historical documents and examples of the work of some of the earliest Muslim photographers of Hajj. Together, the essays collected in Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage provide a comprehensive overview of Hajj, illustrating the religious, spiritual, cultural and artistic aspects of pilgrimage to the Holy Sanctuaries of Islam and the cosmopolitan nature of Hajj itself. Each essay is written by a prominent specialist in the field and beautifully illustrated with full-colour images of objects from the collection, some of which have never been seen in print before. Taking readers from the early history of Islam to the fascinating story of the Western view of Muslim pilgrimage, these essays will transform our perception of Hajj.
