This original book
untangles fundamental confusions about historical relationships among
Islam, representational images, and philosophy. Closely examining some
of the most meaningful and best preserved premodern illustrated
manuscripts of Islamic cosmographies, Persis Berlekamp refutes the
assertion often made by other historians of medieval Islamic art that,
while representational images did exist, they did not serve religious
purposes. The author focuses on widely disseminated Islamic images of
the wonders of creation, ranging from angels to human-snatching birds,
and argues that these illustrated manuscripts aimed to induce wonder at
God's creation, as was their stated purpose. She tracks the various ways
that images advanced that purpose in the genre's formative milieu - the
century and a half following the Mongol conquest of the Islamic East in
1258. Delving into social history and into philosophical ideas relevant
to manuscript and image production, Berlekamp shows that philosophy
occupied an established, if controversial, position within Islam. She
thereby radically reframes representational images within the history of
Islam.
