Summary:

"Édifiée par le sixième calife omeyyade, le conquérant al-Walid (705-715), pour la plus grande gloire de l'islam, de la dynastie et de sa personne, sur l'emplacement d'un ancien temple païen d'Hadad-Jupiter devenu église depuis Théodose, la grande mosquée de Damas fut d'emblée considérée comme l'une des merveilles du monde ... Livre de splendeurs, d'érudition aussi. L'auteur relate en détail, citant chacune des sources, la lente redécouverte par l'Occident d'un lieu dont il était exclu et dont il refusa longtemps, jusqu'au milieu du siècle dernier, d'attribuer la création à l'islam, prétendant que la mosquée n'était rien d'autre que l'ancienne basilique chrétienne. Ainsi, le livre participe-t-il de l'incessant mouvement de reconstruction et de restauration qui, au fil des siècles et de leurs catastrophes, séismes et incendies, rétablit dans sa gloire l'unique, la sans pareille mosquée des Omeyyades."--Jacket.
