This groundbreaking book examines the roots and impact of this formidable empire, featuring 300 objects as evidence of the artistic and cultural flowering that occurred under Seljuq rule. Beginning with a historical overview of the dynasty, Court and Cosmos covers such topics as the rise of the Seljuq sultanate, the development of astrology and magic, the visual expression of discoveries in science, medicine, and technology, and the courtly, funerary, and literary arts. Glazed ceramics, incised glass, inlaid metalwork, handwoven textiles, illuminated manuscripts, and more are captured in new photographs. Court and Cosmos is a comprehensive study of the breadth of Seljuq achievement, illuminating the splendor of one of Islam’s most magnificent dynasties and providing insights into a rich cultural tradition that has shaped the legacy of Islamic culture to this day.

Review: Sweeping Seljuks - Excellent book. A large and exquisite book published in 2016. I think it is the first of it’s kind in English on great Muslim Empire - the greatest- of 13th Century. Many magnificent masjids snd medrassahs from their period survive and I am very fortunate to have visited many of them in Central Türkiye including in Sivas and Divigri town. The mesjid in Kayseri is outstanding so is the one found in Divigri. A must have book for anyone interested in Seljuks and Islamic civilisation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,935,005 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,892 in Collections, Catalogs & Exhibitions #5,812 in Arts & Photography Criticism #13,979 in Historical Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | ## Images ![Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91rwQzEeCGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by A***L on October 26, 2024* Well written and great book to have in my bookshelf. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweeping Seljuks *by A***A on December 2, 2022* Excellent book.

The book starts off with some historical background on the Seljuk Empire, and then focuses on the beautiful and rich artistic traditions they had. It is definitely worth buying especially if you are interested in Near Eastern cultures. Great content and beautifully detailed photography. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/29019407-court-and-cosmos-the-great-age-of-the-seljuqs](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/29019407-court-and-cosmos-the-great-age-of-the-seljuqs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
