About This Item
Royal Academy of Arts,, 2005.. First published on the occasion of the exhibition in the RA 22 January - 12 April 2005. This magnificent catalogue accompanies a spectacular exhibition devoted to the artistic and cultural richness of the Turkic-speaking peoples. Essays by leading scholars trace Turkic history and cultural development, while artefacts ranging from painting, sculpture, textiles, metalwork and ceramics reflect the artistic influences that the Turks assimilated, from their early nomadic wanderings to the glories produced during the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent. The book takes the reader on a breathtaking journey from the eastern border of modern China to the Balkans in the west. Turkic groups adapted the cultures they encountered - Chinese, Mongol, Arab and Persian - and religions such as Shamanism, Buddhism and the sects of Islam.. In-4°, 494 pp, illustrations in colour, hard cover and dust jacket. Fine copy Art|archeologie|geschiedenis|tentoonstellingscataloog|antiques

About Antiquariaat Marc Van de Wiele
In 1976 Marc Van de Wiele rents a small shop in Prinsenhof, in Bruges. In 1977 he marries Anette. They move to the Sint-Salvatorskoorstraat, very close to the Simon Stévin square, a few years later.
In 1992, they buy and renovate a historical building on the corner of the Sint-Salvatorskerkhof and the Heilige Geeststraat.
Since forty years Marc Van de Wiele specialises in illustrated books from the 15th till the 20th century: books of hours, incunabula, natural history, atlases, medical books and books of artists. In 2004 Nathalie Van de Wiele (degree in romance languages) came into the business.
