  • The Jews in Seventh-Century Palestine
    The Jews in Seventh-Century Palestine Averil Cameron There can be few more powerful experiences for a historian of the seventh cen­ tury AD than a first visit to Jerusalem. In the Old City, the large paved area cleared in front of the Wailing Wall, which incorporates the stones remaining from Herod’s Temple, backs on to old houses leading to the Haram al-Sharif, on which stands the Umayyad Bayt al-Maqdis, with its great dome dominating the whole city. On the opposite side of the cleared space, right up against the wall of the Temple, are the excavated remains of massive Umayyad buildings, probably an administrative centre. Looking over the Old City from one of the hills which ring Jerusalem, the first thing one notices, apart from the walls, is the Dome of the Rock. In comparison, Constantine’s Church of the Anastasis is almost hidden from view at street level, and has to be pointed out with some difficulty, even to someone looking across from the vantage point of one of the hills. The extensive and carefully targeted building works undertaken in Jerusalem after 1967 remind us of similar and earlier transformations of the urban land­ scape of Jerusalem. One of the most far-reaching of these moments of cultural transformation from my present perspective came in the 320s AD, when Con­ stantine the Great made Jerusalem into a central place of Christian worship and pilgrimage. The seventh century provided several comparable occasions, first in the aftermath of the capture of Jerusalem by the Persians in AD 614, then with the triumphant return

  • Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia
    Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabic civilization which existed in the Arabian Plate before the rise of Islam in the 630s. The study of Pre-Islamic Arabia is important to Islamic studies as it provides the context for the development of Islam. Studies The scientific studies of Pre-Islamic Arabs starts with the Arabists of the early 19th century when they managed to decipher epigraphic Old South Arabian (10th century BCE), Ancient North Arabian (6th century BCE) and other writings of pre-Islamic Arabia, so it is no longer limited to the written traditions which are not local due to the lack of surviving Arab historians Nabataean trade routes in Pre-Islamic Arabia accounts of that era, so it is compensated by existing material consists primarily of written sources from other traditions (such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc.) so it was not known in great detail; From the 3rd century CE, Arabian history becomes more tangible with the rise of the Himyarite Kingdom, and with the appearance of the Qahtanites in the Levant and the gradual assimilation of the Nabataeans by the Qahtanites in the early centuries CE, a pattern of expansion exceeded in the explosive Muslim conquests of the 7th century. So sources of history includes archaeological evidence, foreign accounts and oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars especially pre-Islamic poems and al-hadith plus a number of ancient Arab documents that survived to the medieval times and portions of them were cited or recorded. Archaeological exploration in the Arabian Peninsula has been sparse but fruitful, many ancient sites were identified by modern excavations.

  • Chapter Twenty-Three Christianity from the Fifth to the Eleventh
    Chapter Twenty-three Christianity from the Fifth to the Eleventh Century While the Dar al-Islam was prospering, much of Christendom was impoverished and the rest of it was under attack. In western Europe the Roman empire had disintegrated, and what had once been highly civilized lands entered a long Dark Age. Military and therefore political power was in the hands of Germanic warlords, whose territories soon evolved into kingdoms. Social and economic conditions deteriorated to a level not seen since before the original Roman conquests. In the east, the Byzantine empire not only surrendered everything south of the Taurus mountains to the Arabians, but also suffered on its western and northern frontiers the same kind of barbarian raids and takeovers that had earlier ruined western Europe and Britain. Although the Byzantines survived the barbarian onslaught, their empire was much diminished by it: from the fifth through the seventh century the Byzantine empire lost not only the Levant, Egypt and North Africa to the Arabians, but also most of southeastern Europe to Slavic- or Avar-speaking warlords. In the bleakest periods the empire consisted only of Anatolia and, in Europe, Constantinople itself and its hinterland. For Christianity, nevertheless, the fifth through eleventh centuries were a time of remarkable growth as the faith spread through the British isles and all of Europe. As Germanic and Slavic speakers were converted, paganism disappeared and by the beginning of the crusades almost everyone in western Eurasia worshiped God. Although the Christian communions in the Dar al-Islam tended to dwindle, both Catholic and Orthodox Christianity grew substantially.
