It consists of three sections: the first deals with structural constants in the texts such as the arrangement, or the number and classification of the "sects." The main section describes the most important works and authors from the 8th to the 19th century. Finally, the central concepts - "religion," "sects," "orthodoxy," etc. - are considered and the historical background of the literary development examined in more detail. It turns out that the "heresies" were rather "confessions" which can be understood as proof of the pluralistic structure of the Islamic community.<br><br><br>Our offer outside Germany, Austria, Switzerland:<br>- 10% discount on list price<br>- plus surface mail delivery<br>(Europe EUR 20 / Worldwide EUR 40)<br>- air mail on request<br>- European VAT included<br>- Institutions and returning customers: delivery by open account<br>- First-time customers: pre-payment by bank transfer or credit card preferred<br><br><br>Our offer for Germany, Austria, Switzerland:<br>- 5% library discount for libraries and institutes<br>- plus surface mail delivery<br>(Germany EUR 6 / Austria EUR 15 / Switzerland EUR 30)<br>- European VAT included<br>- institutions and returning customers: delivery by open account<br>- first-time customers: pre-payment by bank transfer or credit card preferred<br><br>Looking forward to your orders.
