Description:

- The Encyclopaedia of Islam First Edition was originally published between 1913 and 1936. The demand for an encyclopaedic work on Islam was created by the increasing (colonial) interest in Muslims and Islamic cultures during the nineteenth century. The scope of this still unique reference work is philology, history, theology and law until early 20th century. Such famous scholars as Houtsma, Wensinck, Gibb, Snouck Hurgronje, and Lévi-Provençal were involved in this scholarly endeavour.Features and Benefits- 9000 alphabetically arranged articles- the first highly international collaboration of scholars in this field- the start of a renowned academic tradition- historically important as a reflection of the scholarly discourses of its time
