The Formation of the Classical Islamic World 10 |

| Description: |
This volume explores the patterns of everyday life in relation to the formative period of classical Islamic civilization. It draws upon archaeological, historical and ethnographic source material to provide a comprehensive examination of daily life in this period. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume deals with fundamental aspects of the material life of Islamic societies in the formative period. Three broad sections comprise the scope of the book: the first on housing, the second on textiles and clothing, and the final one on food and drink. In each section, studies based upon both archaeological and literary sources are included. The aim of the collection is to highlight features of continuity between the pre-Islamic cultures of the Middle East and those other aspects which were introduced as a consequence of the development and spread of the Islamic religious tradition. The editor's introduction to the volume reviews the developments and current trends in each area, and notes the problems in constructing knowledge of the material civilisation of the early Islamic period. |
