About this Item

Original green illustrated wraps with Arabic and English titles to either side 17x24cm. Printed by the National Offset Printing Press in Riyadh. 24pp Arabic text, 8pp English summary. Very good with light creasing and wear to wraps. This looks to be very rare. The author was Editor-in-Chief of Addarah, and on the Board of the King Abdul Aziz Research Centre. This presents a survey of the Arabs before Islam, that many races existed, distinguishing the civilised south from the Bedouin north, and linguistic differences between Yemen and Hejaz. Migrating Arabs maintained ties with, and returned home. Counter to Ibn Khaldun's argument, the Arabs were important at this time. Tribal wars put forward strong leaders that may not have otherwise emerged. Paganism and the Arabic language helped the Arabs to accept Islam. Seller Inventory # 4744
