XX [From Mehdi Mahboubian's preface] It is to my great sorrow and regret that the man who was responsible for the formation of this collection through his precious teaching and guidance, based on almost three-quarters of a century of experience, is not among us to see the present collection, probably one of the largest and most complete of its type. Benyamin Mahboubian, an unpretentious man of great integrity and wide knowledge in his field, passed away on September 23, 1969 at the age of one hundred years and one day, having conducted over one hundred excavations in his lifetime. He was responsible for practically all early excavations of Islamic sites, such as Bezineh Gerd, Farahan, Soltanabad, Saveh, Aveh, Ray, Yaskand, etc. Here in this collection we can see objects he found probably before any of us was born. Great credit should be given also to my brother, Houshang Mahboubian, whose experience and cooperation have been of the greatest value. XX The collection consists of almost 2500 objects under 1552 listings. The carpet-collection and the seal collection were not in hand at the time of cataloguing, so they are not included. In this collection much attention has been paid to the art of the post-Safavid period, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In our opinion the art of this time has been undervalued and consequently neglected in the past. Now the time has come to reevaluate it, Several items, such as lithographs, of very high quality but quite unknown to the world, are presented for the first time, Regardless of the great respect that the Persian has always had for calligraphy and calligraphers, and the splendid contribution of calligraphy to post-Islamic art, no attempt has been made by scholars to introduce this aspect of art to the world. Here for the first time a complete collection of calligraphy appears in this exhibit.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. TREASURES OF ISLAM, ARTISTIC GLORIES OF THE MUSLIM WORLD, O'KANE, 2007, 1ST, W/DJ, NEAR FINE CONDITION. Some excerpts from the flap of the dust jacket tell you better than I can what this book is about, to wit: "Islam is the most recent of the major world religions, yet it has produced one of the most glorious cultural legacies of any great faith. From the Caliphate of Cordoba in the west to the Sultanate of Delhi in the east, countless sumptuous examples of sacred art and architecture have been created which bear testament to the diverse range of people who have embraced Islam." This book which I am pleased to present for your consideration, titled: "Treasures of IslamArtistic Glories of the Muslim World", "presents a vivid portrait of the cultural heritage of Islam and its great artistic traditions, across an enormous span of geography and time.Illustrated throughout with a wealth of ornate, often sublime, examples, which include paintings, jewelry, metalwork, sculpture, architecture, and many other art forms, Treasures of Islam celebrates the great religion's truly magnificent contribution to the cultural and spiritual heritage of humankind." This large hard cover book (9 ½ x 12 ¼ inches, 224 pages) was written and compiled by Bernard O'Kane, at the time, Professor of Islamic Art at the American University in Cairo. The book was published by Duncan Baird Publishers of London, dated 2007 and according to the codes on the copyright page, is a First Edition. It is bound in brightly colored, glossy pictorial boards and is protected by a dust jacket with the same images. The book is lavishly illustrated with an incredible color photo on almost every page. Condition: This book is in near fine condition. The dust jacket and the hard covers it protects are virtually pristine; I can find no sign of wear or damage.
