This is a short reference work with slightly under five hundred
entries, pertaining mainly to individuals but also to some cities,
literary texts, dynasties, ethnic labels, official titles, and the
like. In addition to the alphabetically arranged entries, it
contains a nine-page chronology, an extensive but dated
bibliography, and a surprisingly good introduction to the "medieval
period of Indian history," as defined as the years from 1000 to
1526.
*Journal of the American Oriental Society*
The book has an excellent essay and an extensive bibliography.... a
well-prepared dictionary and a good introduction to medieval
India.... a good dictionary and an excellent addition to the
historical literature and is highly recommended for all academic
and public library collections.
