1: Les œuvres du monde iranien constituent l'une des grandes entités du département des arts de l'Islam. Dès la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, les collections des musées du Louvre et des Arts Décoratifs sont enrichies de peintures, de tapis et de textiles, d'objets de céramique et de métal : toutes productions où se déploient le dessin, la couleur, la calligraphie. Les objets en métal de la période médiévale constituent l'un des fleurons de ces collections. Certains sont bien connus des amateurs et des historiens de l'art, beaucoup le sont moins ou restaient inédits. Ils s'inscrivent dans une histoire des arts bien spécifique : celle du travail de la matière et celle de la polychromie et des effets de surface, obtenus par des ornements ciselés et incrustés de métaux précieux. Plus qu'un catalogue raisonné, cet ouvrage propose un regard nouveau sur les œuvres, à travers une synthèse offrant une vision globale des productions médiévales, une analyse technique complète, une présentation de la collection au prisme de ses centres de fabrication, mais aussi des fonctions et des contextes d'utilisations des objets. L'iconographie rassemble de nombreuses photographies des œuvres, mais aussi des radiographies et des vues réalisées sous microscope, qui nous révèlent ce que nous ne voyons pas. Ces images reflètent le projet de ce livre, étude pluridisciplinaire où histoire de l'art, archéologie, archéométallurgie et sources textuelles ont été utilisées pour présenter cette collection patrimoniale majeure à un lectorat d'amateurs et de spécialistes, ainsi qu'aux visiteurs du Louvre

Nishapur in eastern Iran was an important Silk Road city, its position providing links to central Asia and China, Afghanistan and India, the Persian Gulf and the west. Despite previous excavations there are many unresolved questions surrounding the site; when was the city founded? Is Nishapur a Sasanian city? Was it founded by the Sasanian king Shapur I or II? The question of chronology of occupation and the ceramic sequence is also problematic particularly for late antiquity and the medieval period, as well as a complete topography of the site. The Irano-French archaeological mission at Nisha

The modern sense of "Greater Khorasan" today corresponds to a territory which not only comprises the region in the east of Iran but also, beyond Iranian frontiers, a part of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. In the past this entity was simply defined as Khorasan. In the Sassanid era Khorasan defined the "Eastern lands". In the Islamic era this term was again taken up in the same sense it previously enjoyed. The Arab sources of the first centuries all mention the eastern regions under the same toponym, Khorasan. Khorasan was the gateway used by Alexander the Great to go into Bactria and India and, inversely, that through which the Seljuks and Mongols entered Iran. In a diachronic context Khorasan was a transit zone, a passage, a crossroads, which, above all in the medieval period, saw the creation of different commercial routes leading to the north, towards India, to the west and into China. In this framework, archaeological researches will be the guiding principle which will help us to take stock of a material culture which, as its history, is very diversified. They also offer valuable elements on commercial links between the principal towns of Khorasan. This book will provide the opportunity to better know the most recent elements of the principal constitutive sites of this geographical and political entity.
