Studies in Islamic Civilization draws upon the works of Western scholars to make the case that without the ‎tremendous contribution of the Muslim world there would have been no Renaissance in Europe. For ‎almost a thousand years Islam was arguably one of the leading civilizations of the world spanning a ‎geographic area greater than any other. It eliminated social distinctions between classes and races, made ‎clear that people should enjoy the bounties of the earth provided they did not ignore morals and ethics, ‎and rescued knowledge that would have been lost, if not forever, then at least for centuries. The genius of ‎its scholars triggered the intellectual tradition of Europe and for over seven hundred years its language, ‎Arabic, was the international language of science. Strange then that its legacy lies largely ignored and ‎buried in time. In the words of Aldous Huxley, “Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of ‎view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... propagandists have influenced ‎opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.” Studies in ‎Islamic Civilization is a compelling attempt to redress this wrong and restore the historical truths of a ‎‎“golden age” that ushered in the Islamic renaissance, and as a by-product that of the West. In doing so it ‎gives a bird’s eye view of the achievements of a culture that at its height was considered the model of ‎human progress and development. (2010).‎

Seema Alavi challenges the idea that all pan-Islamic configurations are anti-Western or pro-Caliphate. A pan-Islamic intellectual network at the cusp of the British and Ottoman empires became the basis of a global Muslim sensibility—a political and cultural affiliation that competes with ideas of nationhood today as it did in the last century.

Drawing on political oratory, diplomatic correspondence, crusade propaganda, and historical treatises, Meserve shows how research into the origins of Islamic empires sprang from—and contributed to—contemporary debates over the threat of Islamic expansion in the Mediterranean. This groundbreaking book offers new insights into Renaissance humanist scholarship and long-standing European debates over the relationship between Christianity and Islam.

The present volume contains essays dealing with the Second Temple Jewish traditions and documents preserved solely in their Slavonic translations. It examines these Slavonic pseudepigraphical materials in the context of their mediating role in the development of early Jewish mystical traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to Merkabah mysticism attested in rabbinic and Hekhalot materials. The book represents the first attempt to study Slavonic pseudepigrapha collectively as a unique group of texts that share common theophanic and mediatorial imagery crucial for the development of early Jewish mysticism. The study demonstrates that mediatorial traditions of the exalted patriarchs and prophets played an important role in facilitating the transition from apocalypticism to early Jewish mysticism.
