This represents a substantial rewriting, updating and expansion of the author's "The Islamic dynasties" of nearly 30 years ago. Over this period, much further information on Islamic dynastic history and chronology has come to light, and this material has been incorporated in the new book. Innovations include much more extensive listings of honorific titles and of filiations, thus enabling genealogical connections within the dynasties to be made. For Islamic numismatists, the recording of those rulers who issued coins will be useful. Above all, the coverage of dynasties has been vastly increased. Whereas the 1967 "The Islamic dynasties" included listings and histories of 82 dynasties from North Africa to India, "The new Islamic dynasties" covers 186 dynasties, including dynasties from totally new regions like West and East Africa, South-East Asia and Indonesia, and Central Asia after the Mongol invasions. The histories of the respective dynasties have been retained as a feature of this new volume and in many cases expanded.
