Robert G. Hoyland

Robert G. Hoyland is a scholar and historian of the Middle East . He is the author of a number of very importants works which document the medieval history of the Middle East. He is a former student of historian Patricia Crone and was a Leverhulme Fellow at Pembroke College, Oxford England. He has recently accepted a faculty position at the University of California, Los Angeles where he will teach in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures.

Hoyland's renowned work "Seeing Islam As Others Saw It" is a momentous reference in early Islamic historiography as it provides an exhaustive survey of non-Muslim eye witness accounts of that period.
