Eleven Islamic Tombstones from Egypt
This article introduces eleven hitherto unknown Islamic tombstones from a private collection in Germany with an edition and translation of their inscriptional content. From a close analysis of their formulae, selection of Qurʾānic quotations, epigraphic style, fabric of the stelae, and marginal ornament, the stelae are attributed to Egypt during a period c. 180–270/c. 795–885. While this is but a small addition to the vast corpus of tombstones th…
Retracing the Reception of Greek Ideas on the Rainbow
Synopses and Lists
Textual practices in pre-modern societies cover a great range of representations, from the literary to the pictorial. Among the most intriguing are synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other. To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call management of knowledge in a time before …

The 'Alids
This book is an study of the ʻAlids focuses on the crucial formative period from the Abbasid Revolution of 750 to the Saljuq period of 1100. Exploring their rise from both a religious point of view and as a social phenomenon, it investigates how they attained and extended the family's status over the centuries. The ʻAlids are the descendants of the Prophet Muṭammad, the elite family of Islam. The respect and veneration they are accorded is unpara…
'Alids
A social history of the 'Alids, in the crucial formative period from the Abbasid Revolution of 750 to the Seljuq period of 1100. It examines their rise from a religious point of view and as a social phenomenon, asking how this family attained and extended its status over the centuries.
'Alids
Conclusion
This chapter presents some final thoughts. This book examined how the ʻAlids attained and extended their special status from the ʻAbbāsid Revolution of 132/750 to the end of the fifth/eleventh century, the crucial period in the formation of ʻAlidism. With the rise of their ʻAbbāsid cousins to the caliphate, the ʻAlids began to delineate ever more clearly what it meant to be part of the kinsfolk of the Prophet Muʻammad. There is no other family in…
Shared Sanctity
This article examines some of the earliest literary evidence for Ahl al-Bayt shrines, contained in the so-called Ṭālibid genealogies. First written in the mid- to late-9th century, nearly contemporaneously with the development of the earliest shrines themselves, these sources were often written by (and perhaps mainly for) the Ahl al-Bayt themselves, providing a picture that the family itself sought to preserve and convey. According to these sourc…
Shi'ism
The term Shi'ism refers to the second largest branch of Islam, which supports the rights of the family of the Prophet Muhammad ( ahl al‐bayt ) to the political and religious leadership of the Muslim community.

The revolt of ‘Abdallāh b. Mu‘āwiya, AH 127–130
‘Abdallāh b. Mu‘āwiya b. ‘Abdallam h b. Ja‘far b. Abī Tālib, great-grandson of ‘Alī's brother Ja‘far, rose up in Kufa in Muharram of 127/October 744. He was defeated by Umayyad forces in 130 (747–748), and killed by Abū Muslim in Khurāsaān. During the two years of his uprising, Ibn Mu‘āwiya established himself in the Jibāl and Fārs, where he appointed governors, collected taxes and struck his own coins. Ibn Mu‘āwiya's coinage is an important sour…
