Description

Explore a significant era of Islamic history with The Early Abbasid Caliphate: A Political History from Routledge Revivals. This scholarly study provides a deep look into the dynasty based in Baghdad, which governed a massive empire spanning from the Indus Valley and Southern Russia to Tunisia in the West. Originally published in 1981, this work tracks the rise of the Abbasid Caliphs starting from their ascent to power in 750 AD. The narrative follows the dynasty through to the death of Caliph al-Ma'mun in 833 AD, marking the transition into the era of Turkish domination. Beyond just political shifts, this book examines the social and economic factors that shaped this age of cultural achievements. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of the Middle East, the evolution of Islamic governance, and the complex dynamics of a vast imperial power during a formative period of world history.
