Muqadimat Ibn Khaldun. You make this book seem very interesting. Based on your description and explanation of it, I think many people from outside the Islamic culture might find this book fascinating (buy a copy) if it came with a running dialog inserted into the text as needed that explained the history and cultural beliefs of that time. Might be a best seller in the west.
- mahmud 17y agoThe unequaled Franz Rosenthal did a translation of the Muqadima (Prolegomena in Greek) in English: http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/ik/Muqaddimah/index.htm http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/ik/Muqaddimah/index.htm My copy of it is Arabic but heavily annotated by researchers. A translation of that would be great, I know. Short bio: http://www.cis-ca.org/voices/k/khaldun.htm http://www.cis-ca.org/voices/k/khaldun.htm Longer bio (PDF): http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/books/ibn-khald.pdf http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/books/ibn-khald.pdf N.B: This is a medieval personality and the text is ancient. Please read it under that light. He lived 1332 - 1406 CE.
