The present volume is devoted in particular to the study of Ibadi history and its sources, thus covering the long period of time from early Islam to our days, and extending geographically from the Indian Ocean region to the Mediterranean. Scholars from all over the world deal in their contributions to this volume with a great variety of topics and approaches, thereby revealing in several respects the challenging character of this field of research, just to mention the question of regional specifics and interrelations of the dispersed Ibadi community, the filling of information gaps in its historical narrative, or the reconstruction of sources and their appropriate interpretation. In that way this book also may serve as an ample source of inspiration to future research on Ibadi history CN BP195.I3 SN 3487151529 SN 9783487151526 K1 Ibadites : Africa, North : History K1 Ibadites : History : Congresses K1 Islam : Doctrines : Congresses K1 Ibadites : History : To 1500 : Congresses K1 Ibadites : Oman : History : Congresses K1 Konferenzschrift : 2014 : Cambridge
