The book ‘Discovery of Islamic Art’, edited by Stephen Vernoit and published by I.B. Tauris in London in 2000, is an academic and analytical work examining the formation and institutionalization of Islamic art studies over a hundred-year period.

In addition to research articles, this collection includes images, portraits, tables, and samples from art collections, providing more precise documentation of the subject. The book focuses on showing how Islamic art gradually transformed from scattered items in private collections and dispersed objects into a coherent field within Western art history.
