From the publisher

A fascinating exploration of how the transcendent is expressed in the spatial sensibility of premodern Islam. This fascinating interdisciplinary study reveals connections between architecture, cosmology, and mysticism. Samer Akkach demonstrates how space ordering in premodern Islamic architecture reflects the transcendental and the sublime. The book features many new translations, a number from unpublished sources, and several illustrations.
