Here. (Thanks to Peter Ludlow for the pointer.) I am not competent to assess its reliability, but welcome comment from knowledgeable readers.
Though hardly an expert on Islamic Philosophy, my primary research is the Aristotelian commentary tradition, especially with regard to late Antique through high Middle Age philosophy. As a consequence, much of my research has revolved around the medieval Islamic thinkers, primarily Avicenna and Averroes. Muslimphilosophy.com has been a wonderful resource for my research, and came to me highly recommended by various scholars in the field, both stateside and abroad. The bibliographies alone make the site worthwhile, and for the Arabic readers among us (I am not), many untranslated (and often difficult to procure) works are available here. Thanks to Prof. Ludlow for getting the word out.
