Casa Andalusi is a house in the Juseria restored to suggest a typical abode during the Caliphate.
- At the entrance sits a font for the ritual cleansing of hands before entering a home
- a pleasant little courtyard
- and off it a reading salon
- every house must have its lacework even if, as here, there is no real need
- the scribe has to be careful of firey prose which could get him into trouble with the rulers, hence a fire-extinguisher close to hand
- examples of arabic script and the beautiful calligraphy to which it lends itself
One of Cordoba's big sources of income came from the production of rag paper and the process is demonstrated in a model. I will divulge the secret process: shred, pound, soak, pound, dry, cut. No need for imagery.もっと詳しく
