{"product_id":"9781614910312","title":"Christians and Others in the Umayyad State","description":"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. Eight papers address various aspects of the interactions among Muslims and non-Muslims in the Umayyad state. \u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brown, David Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051540463856,"sku":"9781614910312","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781614910312_p0.jpg?v=1769904218","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781614910312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
