The Lands of the Eastern Caliphate, originally published by
Cambridge University Press in 1905, is an anthology of geographical
and historical works on Mesopotamia, Persia, and the surrounding
areas of Central Asia by medieval Arab, Persian, and Turkish Muslim
geographers. The translated works begin with writings from A.D.
864, and conclude with works from the early seventeenth century.
While not an exhaustive geographical history, the description of
each province includes information on manufacture and trade, towns,
roads, bodies of water, and other topical areas of interest. There
are also maps of several provinces as well as an extensive index.
The Lands of the Eastern Caliphate is a complementary work to
Baghdad under the Abbasid Caliphate, and includes some records from
Palestine under the Moslems, making this work ideal for any student
of Le Strange's translations. 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.
