Leisten, Thomas: Excavation of Samarra. Volume I: Architecture

Final report of the first campaign 1910-1912. Using Herzfeld's sketchbooks, finished drawings, diaries, and letters, along with those of Herzfeld’s works that have already been published, this volume aims at reconstructing the course and the historical context of the first excavation at Samarra, which marks the beginning of Islamic archaelogy in Germany. The core of the volume is a critical presentation of the congregational mosques at Balkuwara, Sur’Isa, and the Quasr al-‘Ashiq. The final section deals with the residential architecture and the baths. Current information attained on the architecture in Samarra is evaluated and supplemented with new archival material, and includes results from later excavations carried out by Iraqi archaeologists.
