Omschrijving
The 16 volume Encyclopaedia Islamica is due to become one of the major comprehensive reference works on Islam and the Muslim world. A unique feature is the attention given to aspects of Islamic heritage—particularly Shiʿism—which makes it complementary to other encyclopaedias.
“Clearly the editors of ISLA have selected articles they consider will augment the existing reference sources – and they have completed this selection task with acumen and skill. The work as a whole remains, however, a “specialist encyclopaedia” […] – or perhaps more accurately, it is an encyclopaedia for specialists […]. In that sense, it is a valuable addition […] to the reference work available at present. Perhaps its greatest merit is that it brings to an international audience a key example of and an excellent advertisement for high-quality Iranian scholarship which has hitherto been available but known only to a few.” Robert Gleave in Journal of the American Oriental Society, 130. 1 (Jan-Mar 2010), P. 111-113. ".. the publication of Encyclopaedia Islamica is a notable step forward in including the Shi‘a viewpoint in scholarship on Islam." Mousa al‑Reza Wahdati in Journal of Shi‘a Islamic Studies, Winter 2015, Vol. VIII, No. 1. "Printed on coated paper, the five volumes so far published are an impressive achievement both in production as well as in scholarship related to Persian themes." Yashab Tur in Islamic Sciences, Vol. 14 (Summer 2016) No. 1.
Wilferd Madelung has made significant contributions to scholarship on mediaeval Islamic movements, including Twelver Shi‘ism, Zaydism and Ismailism. He is a former Laudian Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford and Senior Research Fellow with The Institute of Ismaili Studies. Farhad Daftary is Associate Director of the Institute of Ismaili Studies. He is an authority on Mediaeval Islam and Ismaili studies, consulting Editor of Encyclopaedia Iranica, and sits on the Advisory Board of the Encyclopaedia of Islam (3rd edition).
