This book by Prof. Amir Pašić published by IRCICA is the first comprehensive review of the arts and architecture of Bosnia and Hercegovina in the English language. It deals extensively with the history of architecture in Bosnia and Hercegovina, the state of the architectural heritage before and during the war, the various arts which decorate and enrich this architecture. It also contains a list of the hundreds of monuments which have been destroyed during the war.
Reviews: “Using many pictures and diagrams of mosques and churches, Pašić shows how architectural themes flowed between Christian and Muslim buildings. …” Michael R. Hickok, Turkish Studies Association Bulletin, Vol. 21, no. 1 (1997)” Pašić’s study is timely and should be carefully studied by those involved in the reconstruction process or those who might join that process in the near future. Let us hope it will facilitate the preservation and continuity of the Bosnian-Islamic heritage in the built environment of Bosnia and Herzegovina.” Besim S. Hakim, MESA Bulletin, 32 (1998).
