The tenth century was a formative period for Islamic culture and Adam Mez’s Renaissance of Islam offers a detailed survey of the Muslim world during that period. No other single work covers the subject as comprehensively. Mez drew upon a vast range of sources to produce a detailed account of all aspects of Islamic culture and society - finance, religion, geography, industry and trade, law, morals, navigation, etc. The result is a lucid and engaging work that even today remains a key resource for researchers and students alike. The original edition is now very rare. This new edition, introduced by Julia Bray, one of the leading scholars of the period, makes the work available once again and includes a bibliography and index specially prepared for this edition.
Adam Mez (1869 - 1917) was Professor of Oriental Languages at the University of Basel, Switzerland.
Julia Bray is The Abdulaziz Saud AlBabtain Laudian Professor of Arabic at The University of Oxford, UK.
