John Burton-Page

John Garrard Burton-Page (19 December 1921 – 2005) was a British orientalist, Lecturer in the Art and Architecture of India at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He was an editor, and prolific contributor, to the Second Edition of the ''Encyclopaedia of Islam'' between 1960 and 1995.

Burton-Page's contributions to the ''Encyclopaedia of Islam'' fell into three main categories: Muslim sites and monuments; Muslim dynasties; and Islamic building typologies. These contributions were reprinted in a posthumous collection edited by his former student George Michell. Provided by Wikipedia
