Muslim Civilisations Abstracts
Series Editor: Aptin Khanbaghi

The Muslim Civilisations Abstracts series is an invaluable resource, consisting of abstracts and annotated bibliographies that aim to create access to scholarship produced in Muslim contexts, and work focusing on Muslim civilisations in Russia, India and China. By facilitating access to this work, underrepresented perspectives and marginalised subjects can be introduced into the international arena of research and scholarship. Consequently, both Muslim and non-Muslim societies can benefit from the insight of less familiar intellectuals.

Encyclopaedias about Muslim Civilisations
Edited by Aptin Khanbaghi

The first volume in the Muslim Civilisations Abstracts series is an innovative reference catalogue of 200 annotated bibliographies and abstracts of encyclopaedias published during the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Material is presented in English, Arabic and Turkish. Volumes in the series seek not only to represent the diversity of the Muslim world, but also to create access to and reinforce communication between scholars and institutions where the sharing of knowledge and information has often been hindered due to language barriers.

Aptin Khanbaghi is Senior Researcher and Project Team Leader for the Muslim Civilisations Abstracts project at the Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations, the Aga Khan University (UK). He is author of The Fire, the Star and the Cross: Minority Religions in Medieval and Early Modern Iran (2006).
