Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1970, The Cambridge History Of Islam is the most comprehensive and ambitious collaborative survey of Islamic history and civilization yet to appear in English. On publication it was welcome as a work useful both for reference and reading, for the general reader, student and specialist alike. The History has now been reprinted, with corrections, and for ease of handling the original two hardcover volumes have each been divided into two separate paperbacks.
