Journeys in Holy Lands
ISBN: 9780791403327 / Angielski / Miękka / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book clearly presents the full range of Islamic legends from the Qur'an and early Islamic exegesis about Abraham's journeys and adventures in the Land of Canaan and Arabia, many of them available for the first time in English...
