abstracts concerning Muslim civilisations later this year. Now the MCA
is looking to collect abstracts for the second volume of the catalogue.
The abstracts will be on scholarly books that involve original research
and analysis and advances in relevant methodology. All books must fit
under any of the following three themes.

1) Major moments in the Muslim world:
Major historical moments in the Muslim world and how they have been
received, perceived and interpreted in Muslim contexts throughout
history and today

2) Ethics and Law:
Issues of normativity: ethics and law: usul al-fiqh/usul al-din; ijtihad
(jurisprudence)

3) Cities:
As built environments (architecture, urban infrastructure); As lived
environments (urban social life and culture)

Scholars select a book of their choice on which to write an abstract.
Books written on these subjects can be in any language, but they must
have been published in the Muslim world. Books published in Russia,
China and India are welcomed, but the topic must focus on Muslim
civilisations.

The MCA project (Muslim Civilisations Abstracts) was conceived as a
means of furthering the study of Muslim societies by accessing scholarly
literature about these societies in various languages. The aim is to
unearth and share such knowledge across linguistic and cultural divides.

Further details of the project can be found on the Institute's website
