The Cambridge History of Islam is the most comprehensive and ambitious collaborative survey of Islamic history and civilization.
' … undoubtedly a very valuable and very much needed contribution
to the field of Islamic studies. It is a thoroughly scholarly and
often erudite presentation of the entire Muslim world that will be
consulted by the specialist and non-specialist for many years to
come.' The Middle East Journal
'On the basis of length and scope, the History is the most
comprehensive, and at the same time the most detailed study of
Islam so far attempted, and … it is likely to remain so for at
least another generation.' Journal of the American Oriental Society
