This volume reveals the interconnectedness of the Muslim, Jewish, African and European diasporas during this period.Summary: The first volume covers the period from the birth of Muhammad in C.E. 570 through 1799, a period that included Islam's birth and dynamic growth to its eventual spread to the Americas and the precipitous decline of the powerful Muslim states of the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires. Along with their religion, Muslims carried their culture, their goods, and their innovations to the far corners of the globe. Their contributions to Western civilization--such as new kinds of agriculture (irrigation, oranges, sugarcane, cotton), manufactured goods (satin, rugs, paper, perfumes), and technology (astrolabe, compass, lateen sail)--are set out in detail.

THE MUSLIM CHRONOLOGY

Vol. 1. 570-1500 :

The second volume details the continued spread of Muslim culture and peoples during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a period that saw the height of the powerful Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires, followed by their precipitous decline. The contributions of Muslims to the development of Western civilization continue to be highlighted in this chronology, most notably the impact of the Ottoman Empire on Western art and literature and its role in creating an environment in which the Protestant Reformation could take root. This volume reveals the interconnectedness of the Muslim, Jewish, African and European diasporas during this period.

The first volume covers the period from the birth of Muhammad in C.E. 570 through 1799, a period that included Islam's birth and dynamic growth to its eventual spread to the Americas and the precipitous decline of the powerful Muslim states of the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires. Along with their religion, Muslims carried their culture, their goods, and their innovations to the far corners of the globe. Their contributions to Western civilization--such as new kinds of agriculture (irrigation, oranges, sugarcane, cotton), manufactured goods (satin, rugs, paper, perfumes), and technology (astrolabe, compass, lateen sail)--are set out in detail.
