Egyptology: The Missing Millennium: Ancient Egypt in Medieval Arabic Writings

By Okasha El Daly, Okasha El-Daly, Okasha El Daly

Book Overview

Egyptology: The Missing Millennium brings together for the first time the disciplines of Egyptology and Islamic Studies, seeking to overturn the conventional opinion of Western scholars that Moslims/Arabs had no interest in pre-Islamic cultures. This book examines a neglected period of a thousand years in the history of Egyptology, from the Moslem annexation of Egypt in the seventh century CE until the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century.
