Product Description
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 welcomed as a work useful for both reference and reading, for the general reader, student and specialist alike. It has now been reprinted, with corrections, and for ease of handling the original two hardcover volumes have each been divided into two separate paperbacks.

Editorial Reviews
Review
‘ … undoubtedly a very valuable and very much needed contribution to the field of Islamic studies. It is a thoroughly scholarly and often erudite presentation of the entire Muslim world that will be consulted by the specialist and non-specialist for many years to come.’ The Middle East Journal
‘On the basis of length and scope, the History is the most comprehensive, and at the same time the most detailed study of Islam so far attempted, and … it is likely to remain so for at least another generation.’ Journal of the American Oriental Society
Customer Reviews
Another magnficently researched title from CUP
I found this book tremendously useful. It is yet another brilliant title from the scribes at that magnificent university.
This sturdy and reliable reference work by western scholars is an excellent source of information that you will dip into time and time again. Highly recommended.
