This collective study focuses on a unique anonymous medieval document on ornamental geometry featuring geometrical constructions and textual instructions in Persian. Selections from the unpublished work of Alpay Özdural (d. 2003) on this subject have been updated with original contributions by Jan P. Hogendijk, Elaheh Kheirandish, Gülru Necipoglu, and Wheeler M. Thackston. The chapters interpreting this fascinating document are followed, for the first time, by a facsimile, transcription, and translation, as well as drawings of incised construction lines invisible in the photographed facsimile.
This publication intersects with the current interest in Islamic geometrical patterning as an inspiration for tessellation and parametrically derived forms in contemporary architecture and the arts. It aims to make this celebrated source more accessible, given its multifaceted relevance to historians of art, architecture, and science, as well as mathematicians, physicists, artists, and architects.
For those who wish to obtain a copy of the full, unedited original book manuscript of Alpay Özdural, where he discusses the mathematical properties of all geometrical constructions in the Anonymous Compendium as well as the step-by-step method for drawing each one, his work is available online at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5255416

"The scholarly value of the edited volume lies in bringing diverse perspectives to bear on its interpretation. The resulting work is amajor contribution to scholarship and worthy of close and careful reading, despite its complex organizational structure and layout. Overall, it is a welcome tribute to the published and unpublished work of Alpay Özdural, extending his legacy and broadening its impact. It is hoped that this multi-disciplinary volume can now serve as a solid basis for future research, yielding advances in our understanding of just exactly why and when the histories of art, mathematics and science intersected, and how individuals interacted in the production of knowledge that yielded architectural monuments of cultural significance to this day." - Carol Bier, Center for Islamic Studies, Graduate Theological Union , in: Journal of Mathematics and the Arts 13:3 (2019)
"In the medieval era, Persia stood at the crossroads of great empires, a place where ancient learning, and new, coalesced to create new forms and perspectives. Although we may never fully grasp it firmly, Necipoglu offers the most detailed description of its contours and the most compelling explanation of how one of the world's great geometric traditions took shape. Fascinating and well researched, The Arts of Ornamental Geometry is full of previously unknown details and would be a great pedagogical introduction to this topic. It stands as a thorough work that will definitely be useful for historians of Persian architecture and mathematics." - Abdullah Drury, University of Waikato, New Zealand, in The Muslim World Book Review (2018)
