Conquered Populations in Early Islam
Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture
Series Editor: Carole Hillenbrand
A particular feature of medieval Islamic civilisation was its wide horizons. In this respect
it differed profoundly from medieval Europe, which from the point of view of geography,
ethnicity and population was much smaller and narrower in its scope and in its mindset. The
Muslims fell heir not only to the Graeco-Roman world of the Mediterranean, but also to that of
the ancient Near East, to the empires of Assyria, Babylon and the Persians – and beyond that,
they were in frequent contact with India and China to the east and with black Africa to the
south. This intellectual openness can be sensed in many interrelated fields of Muslim thought:
philosophy and theology, medicine and pharmacology, algebra and geometry, astronomy and
astrology, geography and the literature of marvels, ethnology and sociology. It also impacted
powerfully on trade and on the networks that made it possible. Books in this series reflect this
openness and cover a wide range of topics, periods and geographical areas.
