*’The immense variety of impulses that affected the Muslim world during these five centuries** was also one of the causes of the bewildering artistic explosion*** that also characterises the middle period.**** Although much work has been done on individual monuments, scholarship is still in its infancy. It is particularly difficult, therefore, to decide on the appropriate means of organising this information: by geographical or cultural areas (eg Iran, Egypt, Morocco), by individual dynasties (eg Seljuqs, Timurids), by periods (eg 13^th century [ce], before the Mongol invasions), or even by social categories (eg the art of princes, the art of cities)’
