Although scholars have often noted startling continuities between the traditions of the Achaemenids and the art and architecture of medieval or Early Modern Islam, the tumultuous millennium between Alexander and Islam has routinely been downplayed or omitted. The Iranian Expanse delves into this fascinating period, examining royal culture and identity as something built and shaped by strategic changes to architectonic and urban spaces and the landscape of Western Asia. Canepa shows how the Seleucids, Arsacids, and Sasanians played a transformative role in developing a new Iranian royal culture that deeply influenced not only early Islam, but also the wider Persianate world of the Il-Khans, Safavids, Timurids, and Mughals."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Architecture, Ancient $z Iran. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $x Dwellings $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Architecture and state $z Iran $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Architecture and religion $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Palaces $z Iran $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Sacred space $z Iran $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Cultural landscapes $x History $z Iran $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y To 640. 650 7 $a Architecture, Ancient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813609 650 7 $a Architecture and religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813572 650 7 $a Architecture and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813586 650 7 $a Kings and rulers $x Dwellings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987705 650 7 $a Palaces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051243 650 7 $a Sacred space. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103191 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Canepa, Matthew P., 1975- $t Iranian expanse. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2018] $z 9780520964365 $w (DLC) 2017036164 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213023350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21275CB22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
