About this book
A scholarly account of India by the eleventh-century Persian scholar al-Biruni, this volume examines Indian religion, learning, and customs for readers interested in understanding another intellectual tradition. In discussing Sanskrit texts and learned Indian interlocutors, he often sets their ideas beside those familiar from Islamic scholarship. Rather than follow a political timeline, the work arranges knowledge by subject and reads more as a study of civilization than as a chronicle of events.
