Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The papers in this first volume of the new Oriental Institute series LAMINE are derived from a conference entitled "Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians in the Umayyad State," held at the University of Chicago on June 17-18, 2011. The goal of the conference was to address a simple question: Just what role did non-Muslims play in the operations of the Umayyad state? It has always been clear that the Umayyad family (r. 41-132/661-750) governed populations in the rapidly expanding empire that were overwhelmingly composed of non-Muslims - mainly Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians - and the status of those non-Muslim communities under Umayyad rule, and more broadly in early Islam, has been discussed continuously for more than a century. The role of non-Muslims within the Umayyad state has been, however, largely neglected. The eight papers in this volume thus focus on non-Muslims who participated actively in the workings of the Umayyad government.This new Oriental Institute series - Late Antique and Medieval Islamic Near East (LAMINE) - aims to publish a variety of scholarly works, including monographs, edited volumes, critical text editions, translations, studies of corpora of documents - in short, any work that offers a significant contribution to understanding the Near East between roughly 200 and 1000 CE.

Hardback. Condition: New. Aligning Heaven and Earth in Early Islam focuses on the construction of historical knowledge during the first centuries of Islam (7th-10th centuries CE) and sheds light on the much-neglected genre of astrological histories. It contends that astrologers played a significant, albeit totally overlooked, role in the making of Islamic historiography. The volume documents a unique moment in historical writing and reveals enduring legacies of this exceptional corpus of texts and historical horoscopes. The flourishing and eventual vanishing of astrological histories reveal broader historiographical trends, most notably a shift of cultural brokers serving as arbitrators of (historical) knowledge and a change of regime of historicity. Aligning Heaven and Earth in Early Islam also reveals the forgotten legacies of a moment in early Islamic historiography, when history was being written according to celestial omens and planetary conjunctions. …

Christophe Picard, au fil d'une riche production et de ses enseignements dans les universités de Saint-Étienne, Toulouse et Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, n'a jamais quitté des yeux les horizons maritimes. Il a montré la mise en valeur précoce des côtes contrôlées par des pouvoirs islamiques et retracé les évolutions de la présence des flottes de l?Islam médiéval, tant en Méditerranée que dans l?océan Atlantique. Il a aussi longuement labouré les terres d?al-Andalus et en particulier celles relevant du Portugal actuel, étudiant tour à tour les dynamiques de peuplement, les relations entre musulmans et chrétiens ou le commerce. Ce faisant, il a abordé des thèmes et des espaces qui avaient été négligés et qu?il lui revient d?avoir mis en lumière parmi les premiers. Il a participé ainsi à dessiner les contours d?une Méditerranée moins exclusivement byzantine et latine et d?un monde islamique qui redonnait toute sa place à son extrémité occidentale. Si le Maghreb et la péninsule Ibérique ont prioritairement retenu son attention, il a largement collaboré avec ses collègues spécialistes de l?Occident latin et de l?Orient islamique. Historien des textes, il a aussi eu à c?ur d?associer l?archéologie à ses réflexions. Les articles réunis dans ce volume en son honneur, offerts par ses élèves et ses collègues, nous invitent à suivre ses pas en parcourant, entre Atlantique et Méditerranée mais aussi au-delà, ce monde profondément décloisonné qu?a été l?Islam médiéval.…
