Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World

The goal of theEncyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic Worldis to cover an area of Jewish history, religion, and culture which until now has lacked its own cohesive/discrete reference work. The Encyclopedia aims to fill the gap in academic reference literature on the Jews of Muslim lands particularly in the late medieval, early modern and modern periods. The Encyclopedia is planned as a four-volume bound edition containing approximately 2,250 entries and 1.5 million words with an additional index volume. Entries will be organized alphabetically by lemma title (headword) for general ease of access and cross-referenced where appropriate. Additionally theEncyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic Worldwill contain a special edition of the Index Islamicus with a sole focus on the Jews of Muslim lands. An online edition will follow after the publication of the print edition. If you require further information, please send an e-mail to ejiw@brill.nl.
