Jewish Studies

The Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World covers an area of Jewish history, religion, and culture which until now has lacked its own cohesive/discreet reference work. The Encyclopedia aims to fill thegap in academic reference literature on the Jews of Muslim lands particularly in the late medieval, earlymodern and modern periods. The only reference work of its kind: up-to-date research and bibliographies make it indispensable for all levels of users. Over 350 internationally-renowned scholars from North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

This exhaustive work offers readers at multiple levels key insights into the military, political, social, cultural, and religious origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
