Description:
Volume I is designed to be read by itself, but it presents the arguments and conclusions drawn from the Indexes in Volume II. Volume II presents the documentation for the arguments: a collection of published inscriptions decorating Islamic monuments. They are organized under three headings: 1) according to the number of the Sura and verse; 2) according to the geographical area, the city and the building where the verses occur; 3) according to the location within the buildings, over doors, for example, or on minarets.
