This book contains thirteen scholarly papers published in their original language, i.e. English or Arabic, and the opening and closing speeches, from the international seminar on the theme “Research in Islamic Civilization: Outlook for the Coming Decade” that was organized by IRCICA on 26-29 September 1988. A select group of scholars and researchers from various countries participated in the seminar. Today, after more than three decades, their evaluations on the problems and prospects of research in various fields of Islamic culture, history and civilization have science-historical value.
