The Annals of Islam

Book •
Leone Caetani's 'Annali dell'Islam' (Annals of Islam) is an extensive multi-volume work collecting and analyzing early Arabic sources on the history of Islam and the caliphate.
Produced in the early 20th century, it assembles genealogies, chronicles, and biographical notices, and became a foundational reference for Western scholarship on early Islamic history.
Caetani's perspective reflected his own intellectual milieu and occasionally polemical positions, which later scholars have critiqued while still relying on his documentary work.
The annals influenced subsequent historiography but must be read critically given Caetani's interpretive biases.
It remains a significant, if contested, resource for researchers of the period.
