The alleged Mohammedan image ban is opposed by a diverse Islamic world of images, which knows religious and profane scenes as well as mythological and symbolic motifs. They are opened here for the first time systematically and for all art genres. The lexical section from A to Z is complemented by explanations of the temporal and geographical focus of Islamic imagery. In addition, the most important cultural and literary sources are presented. This Islamic iconography is designed as a picture dictionary with numerous pictorial examples.
