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.

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...
