"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.
Double fascicule 187-188 completes the alphabet and thus the
volume. Upon completion of a volume, covers and prelims are
supplied for binding. A Supplement volume will be published in 2003
and an Index volume, marking the completion of the "Encylopaedia of
Islam, (New Edition), will be published in 2004.
The "Glossary & Index of Terms is, next to the "Index of Proper
Names and the "Index of Subjects the third key to the vast corpus
of knowledge contained in "The Encyclopaedia of Islam.
The "Glossary & Index of Terms, now brought up to date with the
data of volume nine of the main work (1997, 920 pages), deals with
the terms in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu and other languages or
dialects of the Islamic world.
Especially the listing of terms which are not given as a headword
in "The Encyclopaedia itself, but are discussed in the course of an
article - and consequently hard to be found - will be of value to
scholars and non-specialists alike.
Highly recommended for use with "The Encyclopaedia of Islam.
