The History of Al-Tabari Vol. 17: The First Civil War: From the Battle of Siffin to the Death of 'Ali A.D. 656-661/A.H. 36-40
ISBN: 9780791423943 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The volume is focused on the struggle between the caliph 'Ali and his rival and eventual...
