Publisher Synopsis
'Un instrument de travail et de reference fort utile, surtout pour des non-specialistes.'Yves Thoraval, Le Monde Diplomatique, 1994.'The reference is a handy, one-volume condensation of the subject matter found in the much larger Encyclopaedia of Islam...the book would be most useful to the general reader and in libraries catering to the general public, although experts will also find the volume of use in quickly ascertaining dates or basic information.'David L. White, American Reference Books Annual, 1995.'Concise, factual, and all-inclusive...'The Reader's Catalog Bulletin, 1994.'...on felicitera E. van D. pour cette initiative et pour le resultat reussi de ce travail.'Claude Gilliot, bulletin d'Islamologie et d'Etudes Arabes, 1995.'...an extremely useful introduction to the major characters, places, institutions, and customs of the Muslim world...The Islamic Desk Reference's major accomplishment is to offer an accurate and fast access to the history and religion of the Muslim peoples.'Middle East Quarterly.
