Emeri Johannes van Donzel Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Condensed from The Encyclopedia of Islam , a one-volume quick reference for journalists, teachers, students, and others who need basic information about the history, culture, believers, and countries of Islam. All entries are given in English, in the spelling most common now, for example Avicenna and alcohol rather than the original Ibn Sina and al-Kuhl. Includes a few maps and eight color photographs.
