Patrick Franke, Professor of Islamic studies at the University of Bamberg. I am a regular contributor to the German Wikipedia, having created more than 350 major articles on subjects concerning Islam to the German Wikipedia, some of them not covered in English Wikipedia. My commitment to Wikipedia is based on the assumption that it is a perfect means to make scholarly research freely and easily accessible to the public at large. Visit my user page in German Wikipedia, if you want to know more about my work.

I am also the author of the Bamberger Einführung in die Geschichte des Islams, an overview of the history of Islam in 14 chapters, which I utilize as textual base for my regular lecture on the history of Islam at the University of Bamberg. The text is currently being translated into English by User:UniBambergIslamicStudies. See under The Bamberg Introduction to the History of Islam (BIHI).
