Browse Islamic Treasures in Topkapi Palace Museum Illustrated Catalog

After I saw a copy of  this book at Iqri Library, I ordered a copy of  The Sacred Trusts by Hilmi Aydin for the reference shelf here in the Social Sciences Rm. so anyone interested can take a look at many of the sacred relics of Islam on display in the Pavilion of the Sacred Trusts at the Topkapı Palace Museum, Istanbul.
The slipcase only hints  at the gorgeous photography and written descriptions of each item inside.
Come to the library, pull out a chair, and consider the beauty and meaning of objects located this far away place.
