Glossary of Chinese Islamic Terms

Ed./Corp.: Jianping WANG, Curzon Press 2001
URL: http://130.225.203.37/gems/Titles127001/Wang_Glossary.pdf).
Language: English.

Supplied note: "NIAS is on the point of sending to press a long-awaited
'Glossary of Chinese Islam' by Jianping Wang. This deals primarily but not
exclusively with the Hui and readers will find a wealth of information on
not only the religion but also the social life and organization of Muslims
in China."

Self description: "This work focusses on Islamic terms of Middle Eastern
origin and is the most comprehensive glossary of its kind to date, taking
terms from a wide variety of local gazetteers and archives, newspapers,
books and periodicals. It is also the first to fully match the Chinese term
(stated in Chinese script and pinyin) to its Arabic or Persian counterpart
(stated in Arabic script with Latin transcription)."

Description: A searchable PDF-file of the book to be published by Curzon
Press in 2001 (ISBN: 0-7007-0620-8). Currently (Jan. 2001) only the
glossary is available on-line, but the other parts will follow as soon as
available.

Site contents: (1) Preface; (2) Introduction (an overview of Islam in
China); (3) Glossary; (4) Chinese index; (5) Arabic index.

Note: The file is in PDF-format, has a size of 1015K, and is not printable.

Resource suggested via the Asian Studies WWW Monitor (22 Dec 2000) by
Gerald Jackson (NIAS, Copenhagen, Denmark).
