Two volumes. 1: L’Architecture, by Henri Saladin; 2: Les Arts plastiques et industriels, by Gaston Migeon. Published in Paris by A. Picard.

The Manuel d’art musulman was the first book on the history of Islamic architecture covering such a wide range of territories and remained a reference for several generations of historians.

The French architect and specialist in Islamic architecture, Henri Saladin, wrote the part on architecture. He describes stucco and glass windows of Damascus and Constantinople in brief and praises their ‘charme singulier’ (vol. 1, pp. 68–70, 168). The art historian Gaston Migeon goes into more detail in the second volume of the publication, which concerns arts and crafts. He writes about windows in Cairo and their historical development (vol. 2, pp. 368–369).
Apart from general views of rooms with windows, a photograph of a single window is published in volume 2 (p. 369). It is the same window, preserved in the Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo (387/2), as was published by Max Herz (1895, pl. II, IG_161). It shows a bouquet of flowers of four different types in a vase. Above the framing arch, there is an inscription in a cartouche. The photograph was taken by the photographer Gabriel Lekegian.
In Saladin’s part, fig. 105 shows the mashrabiyya (oriel) of the mansion of Gaston de Saint-Maurice (IG_87).
