註釋
Unlike Baghdad and Damascus, Cairo was spared the devastation of the Mongol invasions, and many of its fine medieval structures are still standing - mosques, madrasas, mausoleums, caravanserais, fortifications, aqueducts, private houses, Quranic schools. It is an unequaled treasure-house of Islamic architecture - a treasure-house that most visitors pass by in ignorance. This revised and updated edition of an always popular book describes Cairo's rich architectural heritage and medieval urban development, and guides the visitor around over two hundred of the city's most interesting Islamic monuments.
