Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Erschienen: volume 1-3 Vol. 1: Origins and formation. Vol.2: Challenges and fragmentation. Vol. 3: Modern Interpretations (3 Vols Set) This three-volume reference work tracks the history of the Caliphate as what many Muslims believe to be a genuine and authentic Islamic political institution: From its emergence in seventh-century Arabia until highly contested and controversial attempts of its revival at the beginning of the twenty-first century by radical Islamists in Afghanistan and Iraq. No matter how grandiose such interpretations of a seemingly archaic institution may be, they show the Caliphate’s longevity as a rallying point – real or symbolic – for Muslims across the world.
