Bibliographies

Bibliographies are works that list and describe other works to read on various topics.  Using them helps a scholar build a more comprehensive bibliography than using just our online catalog and various periodical indexes. Notice the date of publication, though, and be sure to use other sources to find more recently written material.

Christian Muslim Relations: a Bibliographical History

Volume 11 of the series above is supposed to be a sub-series of 7 volumes called Christian-Muslim Relations, a Bibliographical History.  These volumes go chronologically by date.  The volumes contain a combination of secondary history writing on topics, but also dictionary type entries about particular texts along with bibliographical references to writings about them. These are long, dense books.  The online versions take a long time to actually load up on your computer to see the full texts.
