ISBN: 9788378893516 / Polski / Twarda / 2015 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych.

The "golden age of Islam" in the eighth and ninth centuries was as significant to world history as the Roman Empire was in the first and second centuries. The rule of Baghdad's Abbasid Dynasty stretched from Tunisia to India, and its legacy influenced politics and society for years to come. In this deftly woven narrative, Hugh Kennedy introduces us to the rich history and flourishing culture of the period, and the men and women of the palaces at Baghdad and Samarra-the caliphs, viziers, eunuchs, and women of the harem that produced the glorious days of the Arabian Nights.

Muslim Spain and Portugal: A Political History of Al-Andalus
ISBN: 9781138135314 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first study in English of the political history of Muslim Spain and Portugal, based on Arab sources. It provides comprehensive coverage of events across the whole of the region from 711 to the fall of Granada in 1492.

Hugh Kennedy raises the profile of this important area, bringing the subject alive with vivid translations from Arab...

History of the Arab Invasions: The Conquest of the Lands: A New Translation of al-Baladhuri's Futuh al-Buldan
ISBN: 9781788314190 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ahmad bin Yahuya al-Baladhuri's History of the Arab Invasions is perhaps the most important single source for the history of the great Arab conquests of the Middle East in the sixth and early seventh centuries. The author, who died in 892, was a historian working at court of the Abbasid caliphs in Baghdad. He had access to a wide variety of earlier writings on the conquests and has preserved accounts that are not found anywhere else. But the book is much more than a series of accounts of battles. Baladhuri was very interested in the origins of the Islamic state and its institutions. His work...

ISBN: 9789004252714 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The reign of al-Muqtadir (295-320/908-32) is a crucial and controversial epoch in the history of the Abbasid empire. Al-Muqtadir's regime has traditionally been depicted as one of decline, when the political power of the caliphate and the lustre of its capital began to crumble. This book not only offers a substantial investigation of the idea and reality of decline, but also provides new interpretations of the inner workings of the court and the empire. The authors, four specialists of Abbasid history, explore the formal and informal power relationships that shaped politics at the court,...
