Description

Explore the architectural inscriptions that shaped Islamic cultural heritage in medieval Bengal through this comprehensive scholarly work. This interpretive study examines Arabic and Persian epigraphic texts from the early Muslim rulers of Bengal, spanning 1205 to 1494, revealing how Islam gradually diffused throughout the region to create a Muslim majority population. The book draws on previously untapped sources to contextualise Bengal's inscriptions within the broader traditions of Islamic epigraphy worldwide. By analysing these historical texts and their artistic merits, readers gain critical insights into the religious, political and cultural developments that established Bengali Muslims as a major linguistic group within the Islamic world. This work is essential for historians, Islamic scholars and cultural heritage researchers seeking to understand the formative period of Muslim Bengal and its lasting impact on South Asian and Islamic civilisation.
