Summary:

This is the first of a three-volume work seeking to reframe the Armenian experience in the context of the Islamic Near East by drawing out hitherto undetected or obscured patterns of interaction between Armenians and their Islamic environments through unearthing paradigmatic cases of political, cultural, religious, philosophical, literary, and artistic interaction and thereby overcoming what the author sees as an inherent Armenocentrism in Armenian historical writing. She takes a generally chronological approach across the three volumes, with this volume examining cases from the 7th to 11th centuries. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
