The Fables of Pilpay
Reprint of the original.
The Damascus Chronicle of the Crusades
This outstanding work on the First Crusade was written by an Arab scholar from an old and respected family of Damascus. Well-educated in literature, theology and law, he was twice elected mayor of the city and died when he was over 90 years of age in 1160. His Chronicle, translated by H. A. R. Gibb, is of special interest because it presents a contemporary Arab account of how the Crusaders fared while in Damascus. Derived from oral and written reports, the information is remarkable for its documentation. An informative introduction sets the scene just prior to invasion by the Crusaders. Because this original work still retains much material unused by later compilers, it remains an indispensable resource for students of the early Crusades.
Classroom Assessment
This book is based on the belief that decision making is perhaps the most critical of all teaching skills and that good assessments lie at the core of good decision making. To become better teachers then, teachers must learn to make informed decisions about both individual students (learning decisions) and about groups of students (teaching decisions). This book gives equal status to both types of decisions and shows how assessment is integral to both. The organization of the book is sequential, mirroring the way in which information should be used to make decisions. It begins with a conceptual framework linking information to decision making, then moves to the design of assessment instrumen...
İslam Tarihi
Ciddi bir akademik çalışmanın ürünü olan elinizdeki eser aslında yazarın Üniversitede verdiği ders mevzuatının özetidir. Beş bölüm ve 16 alt başlık altında sadr-ı İslâm tarihi incelenmiştir. Arap Yarımadası’nın İslâm öncesi döneminde durum ve şartları etraflıca ele alınmıştır. Zira cahiliye dönemi sırasında Arap Yarımadası’nın içinde bulunduğu durumu tam olarak bilmeden İslâm tarihindeki birçok olayın idrak ve tahlili ya imkânsız ya da en azından eksik olacaktır. Yazar, nebevî çağdaki olayların teferruat ve tafsilleri için ayrı ayrı ve çeşitli kaynakları kullanmaya özen göstermiştir. Kitabın tamamında göze çarpan Kur’an ve hadis kaynaklı belgeler bu eseri alelade bir tarih çalışmasından öteye taşıyarak o dönemle ilgili bazı olaylar çevresindeki şüpheleri giderici nitelikte ciddî bir tahlil ve incelemeyi mümkün kılmaktadır.
The Book of Dede Korkut
“The Book of Dede Korkut has been called the Iliad of the Turks . . . An excellent translation in English . . . Smooth, highly readable, enlightening.” —Books Abroad One of the oldest surviving pieces of Turkish literature, The Book of Dede Korkut can be traced to tenth-century origins. Now considered the national epic of Turkey, it is the heritage of the ancient Oghuz Turks and was composed as they migrated westward from their homeland in Central Asia to the Middle East, eventually to settle in Anatolia. Who its primary creator was no one knows, the titular bard, Dede Korkut, being more a symbol of Turkish minstrelsy than a verifiable author. The songs and tales of countless minstrels...
Muslim Studies, Vol. 1
This is the first volume of Goldziher's Muslim Studies, which ranks highly among the classics of the scholarly literature on Islam. Indeed, the two volumes, originally published in German in 1889-1890, can justly be counted among those which laid the foundations of the modern study of Islam as a religion and a civilization. The first study deals with the reaction of Islam to the ideals of Arab tribal society, to the attitudes of early Islam to the various nationalities and more especially the Persians, and culminates in the chapter on the Shu'ubiyya movement which represents the reaction of the newly converted peoples, and again more especially of the Persians, to the idea of Arab superiorit...
