For this on-line work, entries are listed alphabetically ignoring spaces, commas, hyphens and apostrophes. Listings which contain identical names are listed in chronological order unless the name is the beginning of a series of individuals from the same country. In that case, the names are grouped in chronological order within the context of the individual country.
In order to facilitate ease of reference, names used are those by which the person is commonly known to the Muslim world. Arabic names that begin with prefixes such as the "al"in "al-'Abbas" are listed under the root portion of the name. Thus, a listing for "al-'Abbas" would be found under "'Abbas."
Additionally, the following abbreviations are used in this text: b. = born; d. = died; c. = circa (or about); r. = period of reign; and ? = uncertain.
