The analysis of the buildings is very detailed and provides the first systematic attempt to understand how the Umayyad rulers arranged the residential areas of their palaces. The bibliography is excellent and provides the most comprehensive information on Umayyad architecture.\rquote Professor Andrew Petersen, University of Wales Trinity St David\par\pard\f1\fs17\par}

Synopsis
This book is the first systematic collection and discussion of dwellings in the Umayyad 'cities' (mada?in) and 'palaces' (qu?ur) of Bilad al-Sham. Giuseppe Labisi offers an overview of the apartments within and identifies the architectural models that inspired Umayyad dwellings. This study also allows the precise identification of the origin of pre-Islamic dwelling models and their reinterpretation in Umayyad domestic architecture. Through classification, the author has been able to group the apartments of qu?ur chronologically by the reigns of the Umayyad caliphs. The identification of the dictates of Islamic domestic tradition and the characteristics of early Islamic Arabia and Late Antique houses offer original insight and allow us to situate the Umayyad residences of Bilad al-Sham in their wider cultural context. Additionally, Umayyad dwellings have been classified and presented in a rich catalogue as an appendix within the text., This book is the first systematic collection and discussion of dwellings in the Umayyad 'cities' (madain) and 'palaces' (quur) of Bilad al-Sham.
