This volume brings together a variety of historians, epigraphists,
philologists, art historians and archaeologists to address the
understanding of the encounter between Buddhist and Muslim
communities in South and Central Asia during the medieval period.
The articles collected here provoke a fresh look at the relevant
sources. The main areas touched by this new research can be divided
into five broad categories: deconstructing scholarship on
Buddhist/Muslim interactions, cultural and religious exchanges,
perceptions of the other, transmission of knowledge, and trade and
economics. The subjects covered are wide ranging and demonstrate
the vast challenges involved in dealing with historical, social,
cultural and economic frameworks that span Central and South Asia
of the premodern world. We hope that the results show promise for
future research produced on Buddhist and Muslim encounters. The
intended audience is specialists in Asian Studies, Buddhist Studies
and Islamic Studies.
