Writing and Representation in Medieval Islam: Muslim Horizons by Julia Bray
English | Apr 21, 2006 | ISBN: 0415595932, 0415385687 | 282 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

With contributions from specialists in different areas of classical Islamic thought, this accessible volume explores the ways in which medieval Muslims saw, interpreted and represented the world around them in their writings. Focusing mainly on the eighth to tenth centuries AD, known as the ‘formative period of Islamic thought’, the book examines historiography, literary prose and Arabic prose genres which do not fall neatly into either category.
