Publishers description below.THE NEW CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF ISLAMThe New Cambridge History of Islam offers a comprehensive history of Islamic civilisation, tracing its development from its beginnings in seventh century Arabia to its wide and varied presence in the globalised world of today. Under the leadership of the Prophet Muh.ammad, the Muslim community coalesced from a scattered, desert population and, following his death, emerged from Arabia to conquer an empire which, by the early eighth century, stretched from India in the east to Spain in the west. By the eighteenth century, despite political fragmentation, the Muslim world extended from West Africa to South East Asia.
Today, Muslims are also found in significant numbers in Europe andthe Americas, and make up about one fifth of the world’s population.To reflect this geographical distribution and the cultural, social and religious diversity of the peoples of the Muslim world, The New Cambridge History of Islam is divided into six volumes. Four cover historical developments, and two are devoted to themes that cut across geographical and chronological divisions themes ranging from social, political and economic relations to the arts, literature and learning.
Each volume begins with a panoramic introduction setting the scene for the ensuing chapters and exam ining relationships with adjacent civilisations. Two of the volumes one historical, the other thematic are dedicated to the developments of the last two centuries, and show how Muslims,united for so many years in their allegiance to an overarching anddistinct tradition, have sought to come to terms with the emergence of Western hegemony and the transition to modernity.The time is right for this new synthesis reflecting developments in scholarship over the last generation. The New Cambridge History of Islam is an ambitious enterprise directed and written by a team combining established authorities and innovative younger scholars. It will be the standard reference for students, scholars and all those with enquiring minds for years to come.

This text has produced quite a lot of anti-Islamic polemics over the years precisely because of the nature of the collection. Everything was compiled, not necessarily authentic, and not necessarily any part of a legitimate islamic narrative. The text can be twisted and distorted rather easily. Don't shy away from it, but treat it accordingly - it is a reference tool, and not a terribly accurate one.I'm downloading it right now. I feel bad because I remember I almost dropped $600 on this thing back in the day. It's silly - if you want to study tabari, you should read it in arabic.
