Subject: Islamic Lit Anthology Query

Hi,
A colleague of mine who usually teaches Islam classes has been
assigned to teach an Islamic culture history class which is supposed
to cover a broad range of Islamic literature, both Arabic and other,
including some Quran, hadith, siira, poetry, adab, etc. etc. from the
earliest times and up till today.
He was acquainted with a couple of anthologies that he thought might
be useful (Kritzek, Arberry) but has discovered that they are both
out of print.  Is anyone aware of a good anthology that covers all or
some of this material in an introductory way in English for an
undergraduate level class?  He is looking more for translations of
original works rather than a book about the works, but any suggestion
would be welcome.
Thanks,
Dil
