The book was inspired from Ibn Al Mqufas's 'Kalila and Dimna' a ninth-century collection of animal fables which came to Persia from India, similar to George Orwell's political allegory Animal Farm, the stories are about people and politics. The animal characters were used to represent social inequality and oppression. Fantastic Fauna shows animal images from medieval Islamic artwork that depict imaginary and real animals. The book offers the reader with a different reality where the words describing the animals are not in the main book but inside the miniature books. The reader will be intrigued to find differences and connections between images and words, animal and human characters. The book ends with George Orwell quote 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'"--Taken from author's website. 500 $a Description partially taken from author's website. 500 $a Edition of 40, signed and numbered by the artist. 500 $a Miniature books are bound in laser cut wooden boards with engravings of mythical animals; the text inside each miniature are Arabic and English adjectives that describe each animal. 500 $a Special Collections has copy no. 14/40, signed and dated by Islam Aly. $5 IaU 600 10 $a Aly, Islam. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2012092842 650 0 $a Artists' books $z Cedar Falls $z Cedar Falls $y 21st century $v Specimens. 650 0 $a Coptic bookbinding $z Cedar Falls $z Cedar Falls $y 21st century $v Specimens. 650 0 $a Animals, Mythical $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Islamic art and symbolism $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Animals in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85005283 650 0 $a Miniature books $z Cedar Falls $z Cedar Falls $y 21st century $v Specimens. 650 0 $a Paper work $v Specimens. 650 0 $a Paper art $v Specimens. 650 0 $a Bilingual books $z Cedar Rapids $z Cedar Rapids $y 21st century $v Specimens. 650 7 $a Animals in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809573 650 7 $a Animals, Mythical. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809602 650 7 $a Artists' books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817660 650 7 $a Miniature books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01022666 650 7 $a Paper work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01052584 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Artists' books. $2 rbgenr 655 7 $a Artists' books. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2017027220 655 7 $a Coptic bindings (Binding) $2 rbbin 655 7 $a Pictorial bindings (Binding) $2 rbbin 655 7 $a Wooden boards (Binding) $2 rbbin 655 7 $a Wooden binding (Binding) $2 rbbin 655 7 $a Leather thongs (Binding) $2 rbbin 655 7 $a Miniature books (Printing) $2 rbpri 655 7 $a Laser beam cutting. $2 aat $0 http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300054009 655 7 $a Laser cut books. $2 local $5 IaU 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423874 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423874 655 7 $a Specimens. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423861 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423861 730 02 $a KaliÌlah wa-Dimnah. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79046504 700 1 $a Orwell, George, $d 1903-1950. $t Animal farm. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014144000 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E786AB0209B11EABA878C2E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
