The "Sultan of History" encyclopaedia is divided into four main parts: Part One covers Oman's history from human settlement until the end of the Ibadi state. Part Two tells the story of Oman's Nabhani monarchs from 1154 to 1622 AD. Part Three details the history of Oman's Yarubid dynasty from 1622 to 1747 AD. Part Four of the encyclopaedia covers the history of the Al Bu Said imams in Oman from 1749 to 1856 AD.
Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, delved into the history of Oman from its first settlement until the end of the Ibadhi state in his current volume of the "Sultan of History" encyclopaedia.
The 84th volume of publications has been divided into five chapters and five appendices. The first chapter focuses on human settlement in Oman, while the second delves into the history of Oman's Azd monarchs. The third part focuses on Oman's position throughout the early Islamic period and succeeding periods. The fourth and fifth chapters deal with Oman's first and second Ibadhi states. Rare papers, one-of-a-kind maps, and significant archaeological objects discovered in Sharjah round out the encyclopaedia.
Three years of thorough research and historical study went into this piece of work. His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Al-Qasimi meticulously tackled Oman's past, incorporating his extensive understanding of history, geography, and archaeology with his extensive field experience.
He also drew from his own library, which contained rare books, rare references, and priceless manuscripts, as well as historical records and maps.
