Summary:

A collection of all of Martin Hinds' (1941-1988) full-length articles which appeared in journals as well as one of his articles for the 'Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition'. Most of the articles have to do with the early period of Islamic history, while two others deal with the early Abb sid caliphate.<br><br>The volume is especially important in light of the fact that all of the articles were revised by the editors based on Hinds' own corrected copies.
