Martin. S. Briggs
 
He was an English Orientalist specialized in Islamic and Arabic architecture and a professor at Oxford University. Among his books is The Muhammadan Architecture in Egypt and Palestine (Oxford University Press 1924) in addition to many articles in Islamic architecture.
Unmistakable individuality of its own
“But in spite of the Arabs' probable ignorance of architecture in the early years of conquest, the remarkable and incontrovertible fact of Muslim architecture is that, in all countries and in all centuries, it retained an unmistakable individuality of its own, although its origin was so diverse. There was something about it that differentiated it from the work of all local schools of craftsmanship which were technically instrumental in bringing it into being.”[1]
