Review "A beautifully edited and fully illustrated publication. . . . This kind of object of material culture can easily fall between the gaps in academic scholarship because it fails to slot neatly into traditional art-historical classifications. . . . David Knipp rightly points out in his introduction that the term 'Siculo-Arabic ivories' is a misleading one. It suggests that this is a straightforward group of painted and gilded ivory containers made in Sicily by Muslim craftsmen. The papers in the volume reveal a much more complicated story."-- (10/17/2013) About the Author David Knipp is an art historian and research fellow. He is a recipient of the Hanno and Ilse Hahn Prize for Outstanding Contributions to Italian Art History.
