4.0 out of 5 stars
The world's first book on comparative rel;igion?,
By Johnny TSpence (Washington DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alberuni's India (Paperback)
This is a fascinating book on Hinduism, by a 10th Centruy Muslim scholar, one of the first serious books ever published on comparative religion. AlBeruni is remarkable for his modern, objective approach to the subject and the depth of his scholarship. All the more remarkable because he wrote it whilst an effective prisoner of Mahmud of Ghazni (a Muslim). The translation is over 100 years old, but readable and still the only one available.
