In addition the reader should refer to the two editions of the
Encyclopaedia of Islam
. The first edition, 4 vols. (Leiden, 1913-42), is still useful but many of the articles are now outdated. The second edition, 12 vols. (Leiden, 1954- 2004), is now complete. It is also accessible on CD-ROM. A third edition is planned. Many of the articles are of great scholarly value and the
Encyclopaedia
should always be used to supplement other reading. Another important reference tool is the
Encyclopaedia Iranica
, ed. E. Yarshater (London, 1985-), which contains descriptive articles and is still incomplete. For further bibliography, readers should use
Index Islamicus: A bibliography of books, articles and reviews of Islam and the Muslim World from 1906
(published 1958 onwards and available on CD-ROM).
