English Summary: The subjects of volume 2 of the "Beitrage zur Islamischen Kunst und Archaologie" (BIKA, Contributions to Islamic Art History and Archaeology) include architecture, painting, textile arts, minor and applied arts as well as archaeology. Analyses of individual works and groups side with synthesizing contributions.
