Legends of the House of the cretan Woman
The House of the Cretan Woman, Bait al-Kretliya, is a sixteenth-century merchant's house that stands adjacent to the ninth-century mosque of Ibn Tulun, in one of the oldest quarters of Cairo. Both the house and the mosque are the subjects of the popular myths gathered in this magical book. In the 1930s the house served as the home of Gayer-Anderson Pasha, an English doctor and art collector, who furnished it with his collections and left it to the Egyptian government in 1945, and it was Gayer-Anderson who collected and translated the stories that are the subject of this book from Sheikh Sulaiman, the last head of the Kretli family and guardian of the saint's tomb that flanks the house.

Lo spazio domestico mediterraneo - Domestic space in mediterranean
Collana Archinauti diretta da Claudio D'Amato / Archinauti series edited by Claudio D'Amato L’analisi dell’architettura domestica antica del Cairo ha come campo d’indagine le residenze aristocratiche di epoca mamelucca (XIII-XVI sec. d.C.) ed ottomana (XVI-XVIII sec. d.C.).

La casa cairota esprime una forma costruita che tro...
