Authors

Daud Sutton is Director of the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation’s design studio Editio Electrum, based in Cairo, and also author of Platonic & Archimedean Solids in this series.

Across the Islamic world, illuminating Korans from Morocco to Malaysia, and adorning mosques, mausoleums and palaces, are hidden some of the most exquisite geometrical devices ever conceived by man. In this excellent pocket book, geometer Daud Sutton unravels the mystery of Islamic patterns, explaining where they come from, how to draw them, and hinting at the Divine messages they encode.
