David Nicolle, EARLY MEDIEVAL ISLAMIC ARMS AND ARMOUR, Inst. de Estudios Sobre Armas Antiguas, Special Ed. 1976. 175 pp, illus throughout with line drawings, paperbound, English text. Examines the period from the rise of the Arab Empire until the Mongol invasion period through depictions in art, important for documenting the evolution of weaponry and armor in a formative period from which surviving examples are few, and figurative art scarce due to religious inhibitions.
