BILINGUAL FRENCH / ARABIC

This book, copublished with the Louvre Museum, and the support of the Museum of Islamic Art (Cairo), focuses on Gaston Wiet's decisive contribution to the study of Islamic art by addressing, beyond his career and his personality, his work at the Arab Museum and the Comité, as well as the wide extent of his research and curiosity, from Persian art and textiles to the productions of modern Egypt, while also underlining his particular passion for epigraphy. This volume brings together the contributions of French and Egyptian specialists and intends to recall, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his passing, the essential contribution of this eminent scholar and friend of Egypt.
