Islam: From the Prophet Muhammad to the Capture of Constantinoplevolume 2: Religion and Society

By Bernard Lewis and Buntzie Ellis Churchill

Book Overview

This second volume examines the religion and structure of Islamic society. Bernard Lewis draws on a broad range of Islamic literature, including books on religious sects, politics and economics, philosophy and science, travel, biography and literary works, and even bureaucratic records from such disparate sources as the postal service and the judiciary. Comprehensive and cogently translated, these documents bring into sharp focus aspects of a world long neglected by Western historians.
