ROXBURGH, David J. (ed.) - Turks, a journey of a thousand years 600 - 1600

Royal Academy of Arts, 2005. In-4°, 494 pp, illustrations in colour, hard cover and dust jacket. Fine copy ¶ First published on the occasion of the exhibition in the RA 22 January - 12 April 2005. This magnificent catalogue accompanies a spectacular exhibition devoted to the artistic and cultural richness of the Turkic-speaking peoples. Essays by leading scholars trace Turkic history and cultural development, while artefacts ranging from painting, sculpture, textiles, metalwork and ceramics reflect the artistic influences that the Turks assimilated, from their early nomadic wanderings to the glories produced during the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent. The book takes the reader on a breathtaking journey from the eastern border of modern China to the Balkans in the west. Turkic groups adapted the cultures they encountered - Chinese, Mongol, Arab and Persian - and religions such as Shamanism, Buddhism and the sects of Islam.
