Maqamat Maroof

Maroof is an Arabian Faris (knight) from the city of Aleppo Maroof renowned for his bravery in fighting the Byzantines and the crusaders. Unfortunately, Maroof was captured by a lifelong enemy, Botometus the Byzantine, who incarcerated him in the island of Cyprus.

Maroof’s real journey starts when he is rescued by his new-friend Ali, a daring warrior from the land of Egypt. Their journey home will be an extraordinary adventure that will take them across the seas and through the land.

Maqamat Maroof / Resources

Over the years I managed to gather many Arabic painting folios. Some are complete books, while others are a few papers only. I tried my best to make sure that all the folios are listed under the correct book title.

The object of this page is to provide the artistic background that will help us reconstruct the visual aspect of the Arabian civilization. That is why, I am not interested in gathering the written parts of these books, only their drawn folios.

I will try to add more books in the future. And if anyone finds a mistake in the placement of some folios and/or has a better or new folio to add, I will be grateful if you would contact me via the Contact page.

Thanks.
