About This Book

El autor, restaurador con décadas de trabajo en la Alhambra, ofrece un estudio descriptivo de los monumentos árabes de Andalucía centrado en la arquitectura, las técnicas decorativas, los arabescos y las inscripciones, acompañado de grabados y planos. Combina observaciones de restauración con notas históricas seleccionadas para clarificar aspectos artísticos, y añade apéndices breves sobre monumentos cristianos cuando conviene. También analiza las dificultades de transcripción de los términos árabes y propone criterios prácticos. El texto funciona a la vez como guía ilustrada y como memoria técnica de intervenciones y hallazgos.
