Volume IV: The Age of the Great Mughals, 16th-17th Centuries. Part Two: The Rise of Islam from the Indus to the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago
Author:
This book provides a new answer to an old and often-asked question: why did the bulk of conversion to Islam take place not in the imperial heartlands of the Indo-Islamic world but among the indigenous populations of the Indus borderlands and the coastal, maritime and insular peripheries of the Indian Ocean and the Malay-Indonesian archipelago?
The answer is found in the conjunction of geographical, political and economic factors affecting the Indo-Islamic states of the 13th to 17th centuries, both in their medieval origins and their interaction with the Portuguese Estado da India and the East India Companies.
Being the Chronicle of the Later Han dynasty for the years 57 to 156 AD as recorded in Chapters 44 to 53 of the Zizhi tongjian of Sima Guang
Being the Chronicle of the Later Han dynasty for the years 57 to 156 AD as recorded in Chapters 44 to 53 of the Zizhi tongjian of Sima Guang
Volume 1 of a 2-volume set: Compiled by the scholar statesman Sima Guang of the Song dynasty, Zizhi tongjian is well recognised as one of the major histories of China.
In length and extent, Later or Eastern Han was one of the great empires of east Asia, and its eventual failure led to the heroic age of the Three Kingdoms and centuries of division between north and south. Sima Guang's account of the dynasty's successes and failures provides detailed and informed information on the nature and governance of the Chinese imperial state.
This translation offers a Western reader access to and an understanding of that world.
