Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of this course is to provide tools to study and identify ceramics of various techniques produced in different regions of the medieval Islamic world from Spain to Central Asia. The course focuses on ceramic production (e.g., earthenware, stonepaste, firing, glazes, and slips) and trade, as well as potters and patrons from the Abbasids to the Nasrids and the Timurids between the eighth and fifteenth centuries. It deals with pottery and architectural ceramics based on art historical and archaeological perspectives and the movement of goods, knowledge, and people. In this course, the materials studied are contextualized with topics, such as collections and museums, conservation and restoration, excavations, forgery, and historical texts.
