The present study is a first attempt to throw some light on the development of the human figure in the arts of Islam. It progresses chronologically, basing itself primarily on observation of paintings and sculptures in architectural decoration and minor arts. On the one hand it keeps in mind artistic conventions, but on the other it considers historical circumstances, that brought about changes in styles, iconography and visual concepts. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter one deals with the Arab world traceing the depiction of the human image from its very beginning in Syria in the early eightYs century to the second half of the thirteenth century in Mesopotamia and its decline in early fourteenth century Egypt.
