Horne is a scholarly anthology written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive collection examining the literature and historical contributions from the medieval Arabic, Moorish, and Turkish civilizations. It highlights the literary and cultural impacts that arose from the expansion of the Arabic empire, focusing on various notable writers and their works that influenced Islamic thought and heritage. The opening of this volume sets the stage by discussing how the teachings of Mohammed spread and established diverse literatures across the Middle East and beyond. It emphasizes the role of the Koran as a foundational text and describes how literature evolved in Arabic-speaking regions, as well as in North Africa and Spain, intertwining with religious, historical, and philosophical themes. The introduction presents an overview of notable figures such as Masoudi, Al Ghazali, and Averroes, paving the way for a deeper exploration of specific writings, including the "Sunan," "Golden Meadows," and "The Assemblies" of Al Hariri, signifying the synthesis of literary form and cultural expression in the context of medieval Islamic civilization.
