ARABIA AND THE ARABS: From the Bronze Age to the coming of Islam
ARABIA AND THE ARABS
Long before Muhammad preached the religion of Islam, the inhabitants
of his native Arabia had played an important role in world history as
both merchants and warriors.
Arabia and the Arabs
provides the only up-to-date, one-volume
survey of the region and its peoples from prehistory to the coming of
Islam.
Using a wide range of sources – inscriptions, poetry, histories and
archaeological evidence – Robert Hoyland explores the main cultural
areas of Arabia, from ancient Sheba in the south to the deserts and
oases of the north. He then examines the major themes of:
• the economy
• society
• religion
• art, architecture and artefacts
• language and literature
• Arabhood and Arabisation.
The volume is illustrated with more than fifty photographs, drawings
and maps.
Robert G. Hoyland
has been a research fellow of St John’s College,
Oxford since 1994. He is the author of
Seeing Islam As Others Saw It
and several articles on the history of the Middle East. He regularly
conducts fieldwork in the region.
