Hello

Can be interesting. Can you give a feedback of the content of the book when you'll get it ? They dont give any idea of what is being developed inside this book on the website

Thanks for sharing

hi

read the book today
- lots of iconography (photos and paintings)
4 chapters:
- history of the oud and lutes
- symbols and cosmology associated to the oud
- the nahat family
- description and analysis of a nahat oud (geometrical construction)
all very interesting and well written ... in french
