Writing History in the
Medieval Islamic World
The Early and Medieval Islamic World
Published in collaboration with the Society for the Medieval Mediterranean
As recent scholarship resoundingly attests, the medieval Mediterranean and Middle
East bore witness to a prolonged period of flourishing intellectual and cultural diversity.
Seeking to contribute to this ever-more nuanced and contextual picture,
The Early and
Medieval Islamic World
book series promotes innovative research on the period 500–1500
AD with the Islamic world, as it ebbed and flowed from Marrakesh to Palermo and Cairo
to Kabul, as the central pivot. Thematic focus within this remit is broad, from the cultural
and social to the political and economic, with preference given to studies of societies and
cultures from a socio-historical perspective. It will foster a community of unique voices on
the medieval Islamic world, shining light into its lesser-studied corners.
