The Origins of the Islamic State, Vol. 1: Being a Translation From the Arabic, Accompanied With Annotations, Geographic and Historic Notes of the Kitāb Futūh Al-Buldān of Al-Imām Abu-L 'Abbās Ahm - Softcover
Excerpt from The Origins of the Islamic State, Vol. 1: Being a Translation From the Arabic, Accompanied With Annotations, Geographic and Historic Notes of the Kitāb Futūh Al-Buldān of Al-Imām Abu-L 'Abbās Ahmad Ibn-Jābir Al-Balādhuri
Interest in the Nearer East has increased our desire to know as accurately as is possible the beginnings of the faith and of the various states that have played so important a part in its history. The Arabs themselves have had, from the earliest times, a keen sense for historical tradition and an equally keen desire to preserve that tradition in writing. There is, perhaps, no people of earlier times that has left us. So large an amount of documentary evidence as to its be ginnings as they have. The evidence, of course, needs sift ing and sorting according to the canons of criticism we have learned to employ in all such cases. But, this work cannot be done by Oriental scholars alone, whose time is often taken up largely with the philological and literary examination of the texts that have come down to us. It is, therefore, eminently a part of their duty to render these texts accessible to students of history who are not masters of the Arabic language.
