General Notes on the Indices

The indices consist of (1) Index of Proper Names, (2) Index of Geographical Names and Toponyms, (3) Index of Book Titles and Other Texts, (4) Index of Scriptural References, (5) Ḥadīth Index, and (6) Index of Topics and Keywords.

The Index of Proper Names is organized according to the name by which a figure is commonly known, with cross references as necessary. It includes the names of mortal figures (incl. Prophets and Biblical characters).

The Index of Geographical Names and Toponyms lists earthly places as well as (educational) institutions and other organizations. Otherworldly locations (e.g., paradise and hell) appear in the Index of Topics and Keywords.

The Index of Book Titles and Other Texts includes book titles and texts in their original language as well as manuscripts, followed by the author (wherever possible).

The Index of Scriptural References lists all references to specific Quranic verses and Biblical verses. More general discussions of topics in the Quran and the Bible appear in the Index of Topics and Keywords.

The Ḥadīth Index includes the topics related in a specific prophetic tradition, while discussions relating to the science of ḥadīth (e.g., transmission of, scholars of, literature on) appear in the Index of Topics and Keywords under “ḥadīth.”

Finally, apart from keywords and topics, the Index of Topics and Keywords includes the names of groups of people (e.g. ʿAbbasids, Muʿtazilites), angels and other “beings” (e.g., God, Dionysos, Hārūt and Mārūt, or jinn) as well as non-earthly places. When texts are mentioned in relation to such a figure, these are cited in the index by the original titles only.

The following general criteria apply to all indices. Some cross-references (“see”/“see also”) may refer to both entries in the same index or, in some cases, to entries in one of the other indices. For example, certain entries in the Index of Topics and Keywords refer to individuals in the Index of Proper Names as well as to titles of works in the Index of Book Titles and Other Texts. Page references in bold type indicate passages in which the subject of the entry was covered in more detail. The sorting rules are: the Arabic definite article “al-” (and “l-” respectively) was neglected at the beginning of names. It was also neglected when following “Ibn”, “ʿAbd” or “Abū”, or Kitāb, “b.”, ayn (ʿ) and hamza (ʾ). Letter-by-letter sorting follows the Brill standard, ignoring any spaces and punctuation.

Some more specific notes are given at the beginning of each index.

Index of Proper Names

This index includes the names of mortal figures (incl. Prophets and Biblical characters). The names of groups of people (e.g. ʿAbbasids, Muʿtazilites), angels and other “beings” (e.g., God, Dionysos, Hārūt and Mārūt, or jinn) have been listed in the Index of Topics and Keywords.

The following rules for sorting medieval Arabic names have been applied:

  1. Persons whose names start with “Abū” are sorted under “Abū”

  2. Persons whose names start with “ʿAbd/ʿAbdallāh” are sorted under “ʿAbd/ʿAbdallāh”

  3. Persons most known by their father’s given name are sorted under “Ibn”

  4. If persons are not subject to the sorting rules mentioned under 1–3 they are sorted by their given names, unless the last component of the name indicates a place or tribal name (beginning with a definite article “al-” or “l-” and ending with “i” or “y”). In the latter case sorting is on the place/tribal element.

  5. Exception: if authors have referred to a person by another name element consistently or if a person is more known by another name, sorting has been done under that name. In these cases cross-references have been made.

  6. Neglected in sorting:

    1. “al-” and “l-” at beginning of names and following “Ibn”, “ʿAbd” or “Abū”

    2. “b.” – always

    3. ayn (ʿ) and hamza (ʾ) – always
