This book offers students and scholars an introduction to and
insight into the wealth of historiographies produced in various
Muslim milieus. Four articles deal with the classical period:
archaeology and history in early Islamic Amman; an analysis of
sources dealing with Muwahhid North Africa; al-Maqrizi's
prosopographical production; the rise of early Ottoman
historiography. Three examine sacred history as historiography: in
10th century Fatimid Egypt; in the 16th century Indian Chishti Sufi
milieu; and in the Sino-Muslim Confucian tradition in Qing China.
The final two articles provide fresh approaches to historiography
by respectively looking into the sijils of Ottoman Cairo as
historical sources and by highlighting the regional approach to the
writing of the history of the Indian Ocean. Contributors: Frederic
Bauden, Heather J. Empey, Derryl MacLean, Sami G. Massoud, Murat
Cem Menguc, Reem Meshal, Hyondo Park, Patricia Risso, Shafique N.
Virani and Michael Wood.
