ORNAMENTS ON FUNERARY STELAE OF THE 9TH-12TH CENTURIES FROM EGYPT - JOSEF STRZYGOWSKI’S PUBLICATION ANEW

Summary/Abstract: In 1911, Josef Strzygowski published in the journal Der Islam drawings of ornaments from several dozen tablets from 846–965, as well as undated tablets from Egyptian cemeteries in Cairo and Aswan. Today scholars seldom reach for such older publications, but Strzygowski’s article entitled “Ornamente atlarabischer Grabsteine in Kairo” is worth recalling, particularly because it is also documentation in a sense.
