In this three-volume study, illustrated with charts and maps, Hodgson traces and interprets the historical development of Islamic civilization from before the birth of Muhammad to the middle of the twentieth century. This work grew out of the famous course on Islamic civilization that Hodgson created and taught for many years at the University of Chicago.Volume 1 analyzes the world before Islam, Muhammad's challenge (570-624), and the early Muslim state of 625 to 692. Hodgson then reviews the classical civilization of the High Caliphate, discussing such topics as the bloom of Arabic literary culture, Muslim personal piety, and the dissolution of the Absolutist tradition. This volume also contains a general introduction explaining the author's method and terminology; a prologue on the Islamic vision in religion and civilization; and a Foreword by Reuben Smith, who, as Hodgson's colleague and friend, finished the work after the author's death and saw it through the press.Volume 2 investigates the establishment of an international Islamic civilization through about 1500. Volume 3 describes the second flowering of Islam: the Safavi, Timuri, and Ottoman empires. The final part of the work analyzes the widespread Islamic heritage in today's world. Each volume contains charts and maps, a glossary of terms and names, and an index.(Publisher). Good / good.
