Description

This collection of scholarly articles by George Makdisi examines the local history and topography of Baghdad during a crucial period of medieval Islamic civilization. As the seat of the Abbasid caliphate, Baghdad served as the focal point of the Islamic world, and Makdisi's work traces how the rivalries between rulers and their ministers, conflicts between secular and religious authorities, and tensions between different religious factions all shaped the city's physical structure and urban development. The study offers valuable insights into one of the principal urban centres of the medieval world, revealing how political power dynamics and religious disputes directly influenced Baghdad's architecture, neighbourhoods, and social geography. Ideal for historians, scholars of Islamic studies, and anyone interested in understanding medieval Middle Eastern history through the lens of urban history and political geography.
