About this product
Product Information
The history of the early 'Abbasid Caliphate has long been studied as a factual or interpretive synthesis of various accounts preserved in the medieval Islamic chronicles. Tayeb El-Hibri's book breaks with the traditional approach, applying a literary-critical reading to examine the lives of the caliphs. By focusing on the reigns of Harun al-Rashid and his successors, the study demonstrates how the various historical accounts were not in fact intended as faithful portraits of the past, but as allusive devices used to shed light on controversial religious, political and social issues of the period. The analysis also reveals how the exercise of decoding Islamic historigraphy, through an investigation of the narrative strategies and thematic motifs used in the chronicles, can uncover new layers of meaning and even identify the early narrators. This is an important book which represents a landmark in the field of early Islamic historiography.

Great purchase for modest cost! Small and light "damaged" stamp to verso of title page (as described) but I can see nothing amiss with this new unused book other than some insignificant rubbing to laminated boards. Ordered Friday, properly packed, delivered on Sunday by tracked R.Mail. Top-class in every respect; many thanks indeed!

All fine! I asked for a specific book among a group of identical ones and the seller was kind enough to agree with my request. The shipment was fast and the book was very securely packaged with 2 soft envelopes inside a cardboard box. Highly recommended seller +++++
