"The Encyclopaedia of Islam (New Edition) sets out the present
state of our knowledge of the Islamic World. It is a unique and
invaluable reference tool, an essential key to understanding the
world of Islam, and the authoritative source not only for the
religion, but also for the believers and the countries in which
they live.
It contains articles on distinguished Muslims, on tribes and
dynasties, on crafts and sciences, on political and religious
institutions, on the geography, ethnography, flora and fauna of the
various countries as well as on the history, topography and
monuments of the major towns and cities. In its geographical and
historical scope it encompasses the old Arabo-Islamic empire, Iran,
Central Asia, the Indian sub-continent and Indonesia, the Ottoman
Empire and all other Islamic countries.

and an Index volume, marking the completion of the "Encylopaedia of
Islam, (New Edition), will be published in 2004.
