*The notion that ‘the once flourishing Muslim civilisation had for a long while been at a near-stagnation point despite its remarkable artistic achievements’ – suggests possibly a c[irca]1024-year sub-cycle, which ended c[irca]1536CE, in the Muslim heartlands. This is, however[,] clearly not the only cycle traceable in the Islamic world (see above, this Vol[ume]).***
