The five centuries of the 'Abbasid period (eighth to thirteenth
centuries AD) were the golden age of Arabic literature. They saw
the appearance not only of poetry and belles-lettres (which are
covered in a previous volume), but also of an extensive body of
writings concerned with subjects ranging from theology and law to
history and the natural sciences. This volume of The Cambridge
History of Arabic Literature surveys the most important of these
writings, including the literature of Sunnism and Shi'ism, Arabic
philosophy, Sufism, Islamic law, grammar, lexicography,
administration, historiography, mathematics, astronomy, astrology,
geography, alchemy and medicine. It contains separate chapters on
six of the greatest scholars of the Middle Ages, as well as on the
Arabic literature of the Christians and Jews who lived under the
rule of the 'Abbasid caliphate, and includes a study of one of the
great cultural movements of the period, the translations from Greek
into Arabic.
