Review: "Based on wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary research, this book examines the mechanisms that governed the exchange of visual culture across ideological boundaries before the age of printing. Howard explores a range of building types that reflect the impact of Islamic imagery, paying special attention to two icon buildings, San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale. She considers the complexities of importing Moslem ideas to an unambiguously Christian city, itself the point of embarkation for pilgrims to the Holy Land."--BOOK JACKET.
Foreword -- Introduction -- Trade and travel -- Transmission and propagation -- San Marco -- The merchant city -- Palaces -- The Palazzo Ducale -- The pilgrim city -- Conclusion -- Appendix: Letter of Benedetto Sanudo, son of Matteo, to his brother Andrea -- Glossary.
