George T. Scanlon passes away, July 13, 2014.
It is with deep sorrow that the Department of Arab and Islamic Civilizations, American University in Cairo, shares the news of the death of Professor George T. Scanlon, professor emeritus of Islamic Art and Architecture.
Professor Scanlon, had been a pillar of the Department of Arab and Islamic Civilizations (formerly Arabic Studies) and indeed of AUC for over 50 years. Carrying the responsibility from the famous K.A.C. Creswell, Professor Scanlon was fundamental in establishing the university’s program and curriculum in Oriental and Arabic and Islamic Studies, especially within his field of Islamic Art and Architecture. Under his guidance numerous generations of students have graduated and gone on to pursue successful careers in various corners of the globe.
Professor Scanlon’s contributions to the field of Islamic Art and Architecture are quite numerous but he is mainly remembered as the principle excavator, with W. B. Kubiak, of the Islamic archaeological site at Fustat. Throughout his career he has been affiliated with several academic institutions in the US and the UK including Princeton University where he earned his PhD in 1959, the University of Chicago, the University of California at Berkeley, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, St. Anthony's College in Oxford, the University of Michigan, the Kelsey Museum of Ancient and Medieval Archaeology, and the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE). He first joined AUC during the academic year 1957-1958 and then returned in 1974 as a Visiting Professor of Islamic Art and Architecture; he was tenured in 1975 and continued to teach here until 2011 when he chose to retire. As Professor Emeritus, Dr Scanlon was still frequently on campus, and continued to inspire students and colleagues by his erudition and wit.

Professor Scanlon died on Sunday 13th July, 2014, in New York City where he was undergoing treatment for a recent illness. He will be sadly missed by his students, colleagues and friends in Cairo and the circles of Islamic Art and Architecture beyond.
