CAIRO TO KABUL
Afghan and Islamic Studies
presented to
Ralph Pinder-Wilson
Edited by Warwick Ball with Leonard Harrow
The impressive collection of papers
in this volume has been put together by an international group of
scholars to celebrate the life-time achievement of Ralph Pinder-Wilson.
The papers relate to the areas of his main interests, namely Afghanistan,
Egypt, Iran, the Indian Subcontinent, and the Near East and Islamic
world as a whole. They cover a broad range of subjects, including
the archaeology, architecture, art history, ethnography, museum
collections and history of the region. Of appeal to collectors,
art historians, archaeologists and historians, the papers in this
volume also form an invaluable source for Afghanistan and Islamic
studies generally.
