A collection of precious inscribed or decorated Islamic textiles produced before the thirteenth century CE, many published here for the first time.

The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, includes a remarkable array of textiles from the Islamic world, ranging widely in form, function, and place of origin. Textiles of the Early Islamic Caliphates focuses on a group of tiraz and tiraz-style textiles produced before the thirteenth century CE, mainly in the central Islamic lands.

Tiraz textiles―the word tiraz can be traced back to the Persian word for “embroidery”―were highly valued in the early Islamic world. Inscribed with sacred invocations and the name of the ruling caliph, together with information relating to their year of manufacture, these textiles provide an invaluable window into the political, administrative, and religious life of early Islam, as well as various traditions of textile production. The large majority of the surviving fragments of tiraz textiles, which were originally given as robes of honor to courtiers and ambassadors, have been found in Egyptian tombs: most of the textiles examined in this book once belonged to burial outfits from the diverse religious communities in Egypt during the early Islamic period.

Featuring more than 180 textiles from The al-Sabah Collection, some never published before, this book provides authoritative analysis not only of the textiles themselves, but also of the historical and cultural context in which they were produced. With hundreds of illustrations, including specially commissioned macrophotography, Textiles of the Early Islamic Caliphates is a landmark publication that will appeal to scholars and general readers alike.

一批13世纪前制作的珍贵伊斯兰铭文或装饰纺织品，其中许多是首次在此出版。

科威特的萨巴赫收藏馆收录了一系列令人瞩目的伊斯兰世界纺织品，其形式、功能和原产地都极为广泛。《早期伊斯兰哈里发国的纺织品》聚焦于13世纪前制作的一组 tiraz 及 tiraz 风格纺织品，这些纺织品主要产自伊斯兰核心地区。

Tiraz 纺织品——“tiraz”一词可追溯至波斯语中的“刺绣”——在早期伊斯兰世界备受珍视。这些纺织品上刻有神圣的祷文、执政哈里发的名字，以及与其制作年份相关的信息，为了解早期伊斯兰教的政治、行政和宗教生活，以及各种纺织生产传统提供了宝贵的视角。现存的 tiraz 纺织品碎片大多原本是作为荣誉长袍赠予朝臣和大使的，它们主要在埃及的墓葬中被发现：本书所研究的大部分纺织品曾属于早期伊斯兰时期埃及不同宗教社区的 burial 服饰。

本书展示了萨巴赫收藏馆的180多件纺织品，其中一些从未出版过，不仅对纺织品本身进行了权威分析，还对其制作的历史和文化背景进行了探讨。《早期伊斯兰哈里发国的纺织品》包含数百幅插图，其中包括特别委托拍摄的微距照片，是一部具有里程碑意义的著作，对学者和普通读者都具有吸引力。
