Arranged chronologically within seven geographical sections, it offers an astonishing array of sculptures in wood, bronze, stone, and gold, as well as mural paintings, ceremonial pieces, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles culled from private and public collections around the world.

Couverture souple. Condizione: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 1997. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché cousu. Format "carré" 24 x 19,5 cm )( gr ). -------- 196 pages. Nombreuses illustrations. ****************** Quatrième de couverture : "" Une petite ville nommée Tétouan était apparue dès 710, mais ce n'était plus qu'une modeste bourgade à la fin du XVe siècle, avant l'arrivée des musulmans d'Andalousie fuyant la reconquête chrétienne. Les émigrés grenadins furent à l'origine de la renaissance de la ville et de son extraordinaire développement. Pendant quatre siècles, du XVIe au XIXe, Tétouan fut un foyer de culture andalouse en terre marocaine. Gouvernée par de grandes familles au pouvoir héréditaire, riche d'une forte élite intellectuelle et commerçante se perpétuant d'âge en âge, elle sut maintenir son autonomie politique, étendre ses échanges vers l'Europe et le Proche-Orient, accueillir des populations diverses, tout en conservant sa profonde originalité culturelle. La civilisation tétouanaise, greffant sur le fonds andalou maintenu et enrichi les apports ottomans et ceux de son environnement rural et berbère, atteignit son degré de perfection au XVIIIe siècle. Malgré les mutations apportées, depuis un siècle, par la modernisation et l'essor de la ville nouvelle, la vieille cité, préservée dans ses anciennes murailles, conserve sa personnalité, unique dans le monde musulman. Cet ouvrage, histoire et description d'une ville andalouse marocaine, de ses palais et de ses édifices religieux, est aussi l'analyse de l'esprit et de la culture du Tétouanais, fier des valeurs dont il hérité, qu'il a maintenues mais aussi adaptées pour relever les défis d'une histoire séculaire.
