Synopsis
"Full of rare and exact information.... A distinguished work."â New York Review of Books
The eleventh-century Muslim world was a great civilization while Europe lay slumbering in the Dark Ages. Slowly, inevitably, Europe and Islam came together, through trade and war, crusade and diplomacy. The ebb and flow between these two worlds for seven hundred years, illuminated here by a brilliant historian, is one of the great sagas of world history. 30 black and white illustrations"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
