Covers Turkic peoples over a millennium (not just "Turks"), from early nomadic wanderings in Central and Eastern Asia thru the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent in the mid-16th century. Includes essays by multiple scholars that trace Turkic history and cultural development. Sumptuously illustrated with works of art covering painting, sculpture, textiles, metalwork, and ceramics, which reflect the influences the Turks assimilated as they encountered other cultures.
Sea of Ink--Forest of Pens: The Art of the Qur'an in the Hossein Afshar Collection by David Roxburgh
Beautifully, well illustrated book about the Art of the Qur'an. Highlights, many early Qur'anic manuscripts. A valuable reference book.
Contains an enormous resource of Turkish art and artefacts, and lots of good writing about the long history of these important peoples.
Catalog for an exhibition. A survey of Turkish aart.
