The first volume contains thirty studies spanning a time frame from the fourth millennium BCE to the 13th century AH / 19th century CE. Their geographic scope encompasses the Arab East, the Islamic East and its Asian extensions, the Maghreb and its African and European extensions (Spain). The dominant theme of the book is the horse and related activities in peace and war—its equipment, the gear of its riders, the literature written about it, and its representations in art throughout history. This volume serves as a sound methodological and introductory framework for understanding the history of horsemanship, tracing its origins, branches, interactions, and development across time and place.
The second volume, authored by David Alexander, presents a detailed catalogue of 219 items intended for the equestrian exhibition. Each piece is given its own section, and these sections are organized into seven thematic areas: the domestication of the horse and the era of the chariot; the horse in warfare; hunting, archery, and polo; horses in processions and celebrations; veterinary science and horse treatment; the horse in literature and mythology; and horses in the Qur’an and Hadith.
