نبذة نيل وفرات:The history of the Arab Empire or Caliphate, which extended roughly from the seventh to the fifteenth century, is still comparatively little known expect to specialists. Professor Dunlop's book contains a readable account of the intellectual life of this long period, and also provides valuable background information on the ...general history of the Middle East before the formation of the Caliphate and on the main course of events thereafter. Nearly all the material has been drawn from original Arabic sources.
