Zusatztext " The Album of the World Emperor is a remarkable contribution to the study of the arts of the book, collecting practices, and imperial self-fashioning in the Islamic world. . . . Fetvaci advances a deeply learned argument that places actual and abstract juxtapositions within Ottoman and Perso-Islamic bookmaking and reading/viewing traditions. It rightly presents its material as 'a local manifestation of the interconnected globe.' It promises to traverse some of the seemingly insurmountable boundaries between art historical fields focusing on Europe and the Islamic world. Fetvaci’s exemplary scholarship should therefore inspire Islamic art historians and early modernists interested in contacts and exchanges more broadly." ---Sinem A. Casale, Art Bulletin Informationen zum Autor Emine Fetvaci is associate professor of Islamic art at Boston University.
