Table of ContentsReviewsSafa Mahmoudian has unearthed considerable evidence of the gardens of Sawād during the first Islamic centuries to paint a comprehensive picture of these long-overlooked historical landscapes. Through precise analyses, she unravels the layers of architectural, sociocultural, geographical and horticultural significance embedded in these once flourishing royal gardens now largely lost to the desert sands.--Mehrdad Qayyoomi Bidhendi, The Iranian Academy of Art Author InformationWolfson College, Khalili Research Centre, Oxford Safa Mahmoudian is an art and architectural historian, who has held academic positions at the University of Oxford, the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna.
