The Islamic city : a colloquium [held at All Souls College, June 28-July 2, 1965] published under the auspices of the Near Eastern History Group, Oxford, and the Near East Centre, University of Pennsylvania

"One of the most neglected areas of medieval Islamic history has been the development of the city. This collection, The Islamic City, containing twelve papers presented at the Meeting of the Near Eastern History Group p at Oxford in 1965, fills a notable void. It examines varied aspects of the major cities located in Persia, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt and, in one section, even compares them with their Chinese counterparts. Furthermore, several of the eminent scholars participating in this panel expertly synthesized much of the earlier disparate research on urban Islam." -- Renaissance Quarterly , Autumn, 1973, Vol. 26, No. 3 (Autumn, 1973), pp. 303-307
