This is part 1 of 2.

Adnan Husain is both a Medieval European and Middle Eastern historian. His early work focused on religious phenomena and social imagination in Medieval Catholicism and Islam, particularly on Franciscan spiritual and Sufi mystical traditions. He now principally studies and teaches on the cross-cultural and inter-religious encounters among the Muslims, Christians and Jews of Latin Christendom and the Islamic world in the Mediterranean zone from the tenth to the fifteenth centuries. He is also a host Guerrilla History and The Majlis podcasts. We talk about Ibn Khaldun.  Ibn Khaldun was an Arab proto-sociologist, philosopher, and historian generally acknowledged to be one of the greatest social scientists of the Middle Ages. He made major contributions in the areas of historiography, sociology, economics, and demography.
