Renowned as great centres of learning, the cities of Baghdad and Isfahan were at the heart of the Islamic 'age of science'. Their distinct cultural voices inspired a unique historical dialogue, which finds new expression in Baghdad and Isfahan: A Dialogue of Two Cities in an Age of Science, the story of how knowledge was transmitted and transformed within Islamic lands, and then spread across the globe. Charting the history of Baghdad and Isfahan from 750 to 1750, Elaheh Kheirandish draws on the voices of court astronomers, mathematicians, scientists, mystics, jurists, statesmen and Arabic and Persian translators and scholars. Telling the story of the rise of Baghdad and the decline of Isfahan, as capital cities and as centres of intellectual thought, this unique book addresses Islamic culture's extensive and lasting contribution to the history of science. Kheirandish bases her narrative on a unique medieval manuscript and other historical sources and the result is more than a thousand-year "tale of two cities"-it is a city by city, and century by century, look at what it took to change the world. In a feat of travelogue and time travel, Kheirandish creates parallel stories with modern and historical characters, crossing cities worldwide, and capturing changes through time.

Produit d'un projet de coopération entre le département d'architecture de l'école des Beaux-Arts de l'Université de Téhéran et le Diplôme d'Etudes Supérieures Spécialisées "Villes, Architecture et Patrimoine. Maghreb et Proche-Orient" de l'École d'architecture de Paris-Belleville, ce travail avait pour objectif l'étude de l'architecture des maisons traditionnelles de la ville d'Ispahan. Il a été réalisé lors de deux séjours sur place d'une équipe française et d'une équipe iranienne d'enseignants et d'étudiants architectes. Les relevés d'architecture ont été effectués par des équipes de deux personnes associant un architecte iranien à un architecte venu de France. Une trentaine de maisons ont pu être étudiées et photographiées, fournissant ainsi une exceptionnelle documentation iconographique.L'ouvrage contient encore des textes qui développent les différents aspects historiques, urbains, architecturaux et constructifs de la maison traditionnelle d'Ispahan. Le lecteur sera certainement frappé par la beauté de ces grandes demeures construites en terre et en bois, maintenant trop grandes et inadaptées aux normes du confort contemporain, mais témoins splendides d'une richesse architecturale remarquable et d'une culture urbaine très raffinée. Face aux transformations rapides intervenues ces dernières décennies, l'ouvrage fait ainsi découvrir les qualités exceptionnelles du patrimoine que constituent les maisons d'Ispahan et participe à un véritable travail de mémoire contre l'oubli.
