This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Cloth, dj. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. Sir Thomas Arnold was a renowned Islamic scholar and historian whose first book, The preaching of Islam (1896), was influential in disseminating a fuller understanding of Islam in the West. This history the Caliphate, first published in 1924, approaches the culturally distant subject of the Islamic political order with an infectious intellectual enthusiasm and with a great facility for riding the religious and cultural divide. The book begins with the first 'Successors to the Prophet', Abu Baker and Umar, explaining both political events and the theological sanction of the caliphate in the Qu'ran and the 'Traditions,' (Hadith). The religious and philosophical significance of the titles Caliph, Amir (commander) and imam (leader) are constant themes as Arnold traces the history of the (Sunni) caliphate through the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties and Ottoman rule, to Turkey's abolition fo the ancient office in 1924. Shia doctrines are discussed in an appendix. N° de réf. du vendeur 2041777
