The steppe peoples in the Islamic world
Until the opening of the eleventh century CE, the eastern frontiers of the Islamic world had been fairly stable. The frontier region between what is now eastern Afghanistan and north-western India, essentially the Indus Valley, still remained fluid, and was now to form the springboard for Muslim expansion further into India under the Ghaznavids and Ghūrids. To the north-east, the ancient Iranian kingdom of Khwārazm on the lower Oxus and, above al…
The New Cambridge History of Islam
This volume traces the second great expansion of the Islamic world eastwards from the eleventh century to the eighteenth. As the faith crossed cultural boundaries, the trader and the mystic became as important as the soldier and the administrator. Distinctive Islamic idioms began to emerge from other great linguistic traditions apart from Arabic, especially in Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Swahili, Malay and Chinese. The Islamic world transformed and a…

The land of Palestine in the late Ottoman period as mirrored in Western guide books
Europeans had been travelling to Palestine as pilgrims to the Christian Holy Places from the Byzantine period onwards, and the advent of Islam in the seventh century did not diminish the enthusiasm of would-be pilgrims, although the changes of political control in the area made the pilgrims' status rather more precarious. Accessibility or otherwise of the Holy Places would now depend on political considerations, such as the fluctuations of Arab-B…
Report on the encyclopaedia of Islam
The second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam (= EI2) was begun after World War II, when it was felt that a work originally conceived at the beginning of the century needed updating and in large measure rewriting. However, the new edition was to appear only in English and French instead of the English, French and German of the first one, and this has simplified production problems, although even now the delay in publication between the receipt…
