About This Book

This work offers a two-part historical sketch: first surveying Arabia, the life and teachings of Muhammad, and the early caliphate up to Hisham, with descriptions of geography, peoples, customs, and Islamic institutions; second tracing the Frankish confederacy from Clovis through the decline of Merovingian kings, the rise of the mayors of the palace, and the ascent of Charles Martel, culminating in an account of his role at the Battle of Tours and its consequences for European resistance to Muslim incursions.
