Furusiyya in the East meets chivalry in the West. Discover how these distinct
practices of combat and knightly values led to a specific culture in the
Islamic East and the largely Christian West. Tales of knightly culture have
been told throughout history – of brave heroes fighting for their sovereign,
their religion and their honour; stories of war, loss, comradery and courtly
love. But what was this culture of furusiyya and chivalry? How did they begin?
And how did they face each other in important historical periods? This unique
exhibition catalogue explores the ancient roots of chivalry as well as the
role of a knight in combat and the different chivalric codes that developed
around the world, from Iraq and Syria in the East, to France and Spain in the
West. Through over 130 rare artworks from the 10th to the beginning of the
16th centuries, including spectacular arms, armour, and rare manuscripts,
discover how some of these practices and the knightly spirit became a past
time, and how some of them continue around the world to this day. Exhibition
organised by Louvre Abu Dhabi, Musée de Cluny – Musée National du Moyen Âge
and Agence France-Muséums. Edited by Élisabeth Taburet-Delahaye, Michel Huynh
and Carine Juvin
