One of the great intellectual achievements and significant contribution of
Islamic civilization to the science of historiography is its rich legacy of
historical texts not being limited to chronicles and books but in other forms,
including inscriptions. These inscriptions which were used in Islamic culture
since its formative period are a mode of cultural expression and reflect the
Islamic faith itself. The earliest Islamic inscriptions date from the first/seventh
century. It is difficult to imagine a building of the early period without some
kind of inscription -- as if, without one, the building would be unfinished or
„naked‟. However, approaching Islamic inscriptions in a systematic way with
an academic interest began in the late nineteenth century, when Islamic
epigraphy saw some of its rules codified as a result of the dedicated efforts of
the famous Swiss orientalist Max Van Berchem (1863-1923) who can be
regarded as the pioneer of the science of modern Islamic epigraphy in this
age. The article deals with the history and importance of Epigraphy in detail.
It also encompasses the comparison of inscriptions of Andalusia and Bengal.
