"This important collection for the first time investigates key ideas and events in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, the cradle of Islamic civilisation, through the writings of distinguished Arab scholars translated into English." "From the Umayyad period to the nation-building reforms of King Abdul Aziz in the twentieth century, A History of the Arabian Peninsula brings new sources and perspectives to bear on a diverse range of topics: the settling of the Bedouin; the migration that followed the early Muslim conquests; the impact of the teachings of Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab; and the evolution of architecture in the region." "The volume also sheds light on less well-known subjects, such as the personal letters of Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab; the crafts and industries of the Peninusla; the role of post-revolutionary Russia in the Hijaz; and the importance of Arab travel writers and pilgrims in linking the Peninsula to developments throughout the Arab world. It also offers contributions to debates on the problems of methodology and sourcing in the historiography of the subject." "Wide-ranging and full of insight, A History of the Arabian Peninsula offers a comprehensive guide to the evolution of this uniquely significant region as seen through the eyes of Arab scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
