Time in Early Modern Islam: Calendar, Ceremony, and Chronology in the Safavid, Mughal and Ottoman Empires
Blake, Stephen P. (University of Minnesota)
Stephen P. Blake compares the Islamic concept of time across the empires of the Safavids, Ottomans and Mughals. Each empire created a new temporal system, fashioning a new solar calendar and a new round of rituals and ceremonies from the cultural resources at hand. This book explains the impact of Islamic science on the West.
