520 _aA new interpretation of the Dome of the Rock based on an analysis of its inscriptionsLocated on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock was constructed at the end of the seventh century by order of caliph 'Abd al-Malik. This seminal structure has been much studied but no definitive interpretation yet exists of the meanings conveyed by the Dome at the time of its completion. The recovery of meaning is complicated by the paucity of primary written sources relating to the construction phases of the building and the motivations of its patron. This book concentrates on the most important surviving primary text, the long mosaic inscription running around the interior. Comprising a dedication and date (72/691-92) and material of a religious nature, the mosaic inscription provides vital evidence for the reconstruction of the meanings and functions of the Dome of the Rock. The detailed study of the mosaics helps to place them in the context of Late Antique monumental writing, particularly in Greek. The book makes use of contemporary Islamic coins, graffiti, and other inscribed objects in order to examine the Dome of the Rock in the relation to the ideological concerns of the Umayyad elite during and after the second Civil War. Key FeaturesClose examination of the Umayyad inscriptions of the Dome of the RockDiscusses the Late Antique heritage of the Dome of the RockPlaces the Dome in the political and cultural historical context of the 680s and 690sLavishly illustrated, including an accurate drawing of the complete mosaic inscription running around the outer and inner faces of the octagonal arcadeMarcus Milwright introduces his new book The Dome of the Rock and its Umayyad Mosaic Inscriptions on www.mizanproject.org"
