This page concerns sources for the post-ancient Middle East. For the ancient Middle East, see our pages page on sources for Ancient Egypt, Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Persia.
The main sources I have used for the Middle East are:
H. Inalcik, The Ottoman Empire: The Classical Age 1300-1600, Phoenix, 1988
I.M. Lapidus, A History of Islamic Societies, Cambridge, 2002
B. Lewis, The Middle East, Phoenix, 2001
These have been supplemented by articles in Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica.
