2 volumes : illustrations ; 24 cm. 1st UK edition. Contents: v. 1. Politics and war v. 2. Religion and society. Series: Documentary history of Western civilization. Preface The following pages contain a selection, in English translation, from the original sources for the history of Islam in the Middle Ages. The excerpts have been arranged in two volumes.

Some stress, however, has been laid on the central lands of Islam and on the central, formative period. It was my original intention to conform to the usual pattern and com-pile this book, in the main, from material already translated. I soon found myself obliged to abandon this plan. For one thing, reliance on the sources which by accident or caprice have become available in English would have produced a very unbalanced picture; for another, the existing translations vary unacceptably in quality and manner. It therefore seemed best to start afresh. All the passages in these two volumes have been newly translated by the editor, most of them for the first time into English. The majority are from Arabic; smaller num-bers are from Persian and Turkish, and two are from Hebrew. B.L.…
