A series of documents illustrating the development of Islamic civilization, texts translated from the langugages in which they were originally composed by famous protagonists of that culture. The intention is to present a panorama of Muslim life and thought and achievement as depicted from within. The translations, many of which have not been published before, are all the work of a single scholar and are meant to throw light on the literary, intellectual, and religious movements within Islam, and on the politics and sociology from the sixth century to the present.
