Princely Authority in the Early Marwānid State
This study of the career of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Marwān naturally focuses on his time as governor of Egypt between 65/685 and his death in 86/705. His father, the caliph Marwān, had appointed ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz and his half-brother, ʿAbd al-Malik, as joint heirs apparent. In accordance with that arrangement, when Marwān died in 65/685 ʿAbd al-Malik succeeded him as caliph while ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, next in line, governed Egypt. As things turned out, ʿAbd al-ʿAz…

Al-Afḍal the Son of Saladin and His Reputation

In deflecting the threat those invaders presented, a major role was played by the Mamluk state which arose in Egypt and Syria in 1250. The Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies has, from 19…

An Ascetic Vow and an Unseemly Oath
In societies where oaths and vows are taken seriously the problem inevitably arises of how to escape from them when necessary. The story of Jephthah and his daughter in Judges 11.3Off. illustrates what might happen if no escape mechanism is sought. In both the Bible (Num. 30:3) and the Qur՚ān (5:89) we are told that we must fulfil our oaths and vows, but both scriptures also set out acceptable ways of atonement for certain occasions when fulfilme…
