More DescriptionThis work is a revised edition of al-Muqaddima (Arabic) checked against seven different editions. Al-Muqaddima is Ibn Khaldun's introduction to Kitab al-Ibar (The Book of Lessons and the Record of Begin-nings and News in the Days of the Arabs, Persians, and Berbers and Their Contemporaries of the Greatest Sul-tans) and it quickly became the most important book in Ibn Khaldun's body of works. Al-Muqaddima can be summarized as a set of foundational theories that Ibn Khaldun established for the study of human civiliza-tion, al-hadara, as he called it and assumed that civili-zation is not affected by singular individual events and ideas but rather by societies.
