Originally published in 1890 and translated from "the works of the
medieval Arab geographers," Palestine under the Moslems is a
collection of historical and geographical Islamic writings on Syria
and Palestine. Palestine is known as the Holy Land with a religious
focus on both Judaism and Christianity, but it also holds a
position of high importance in Islam, which these writings
demonstrate. Presented in two parts, Part I contains translations
of Arabic and Persian works that date back to A.D. 650-1500, as
well as notes and observations from the editor, while Part II
includes an alphabetical geographical dictionary and references to
relevant Islamic sources. GUY LE STRANGE (1854-1933) was born in
Hunstanton, Norfolk, England, as the youngest son of Henry
L'Estrange Styleman. He studied Arabic and Persian at the College
de France in Paris, after which he spent many years traveling and
living abroad in Persia, Florence, and Palestine. He settled in
Cambridge in 1907, where he contributed to The Journal of the Royal
Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, of which he was a
member until his death. Le Strange was the editor and translator of
several well-known books on the Middle East and Islam, establishing
him as one of the most recognized historical geographers of
medieval Islam to write in English.
