N2  - Studies the key monuments built for the Rum Seljuq sultans, 1170-1220This lavishly illustrated volume presents the major surviving monuments of the early period of the Rum Seljuqs, the first major Muslim dynasty to rule Anatolia. A much-needed overview of the political history of the dynasty provides the context for the study of the built environment which follows. The book addresses the most significant monuments from across the region: a palace, a minaret and a hospital are studied in detail, along with an overview of the decorative portals attached to a wide array of different building types. The case studies are used to demonstrate the key themes and processes of architectural synthesis and development that were under way at the time, and how they reflect the broader society. Listen to author Richard McClary and Dr Alison Otha (Director of the Royal Asiatic Society) discuss the key monuments built for the Rum Seljuq sultansKey FeaturesPresents buildings never previously published in English: the Kilij Arslan II palace kiosk in Konya, the minaret of the Sivas Great Mosque, and the nearby ʿIzz al-Din Kay Kawus I hospital and tomb complexCovers the whole region, rather than the buildings of just one city or one rulerGives a clear and concise history of the period 1170-1220Includes c170 line drawings and photographs, many in colour"
