The Rise and Fall of the Early ʿabbāsid Political and Military Elite
Hugh Kennedy The Rise and Fall of the Early ʿAbbāsid Political and MilitaryElite Abstract: This paper explores the composition and role of the military and polit- ical elite of the early ʿ Abbāsid caliphate (750 –809) whose support enabled the caliphs to maintain sovereignty over theirfar-flungdomains. It considers the im- portance of different groups,includingmembers of the ʿAbb āsid family, military commanders from Khurāsānand members of powerful and wealthyfamilies like the Muhallabī sand the Shaybāni tribal chiefs.The paper concludes with adis- cussion of the reasons for the disappearance and effective extinction of this elite in the yearsafter the great civil warthat followed Hā rūnal-Rashīd’s death in 809. Keywords: Caliphs; armies; political power;Syria; Khurāsān The governance of the early ʿAbb āsid caliphate was aremarkable political and organizational achievement.For half acentury, between the establishment of the dynasty in 132H/750 CE and the death of Hārūna l-Rashīdin193 H/809 CE, the area from Tunisia in the west to Sind and Central Asia in the east was governedeffectively and largely peacefullyfrom Iraq. From 145H/762 CE, the city of Baghdad served as the administrativecapital, though the distances which separated it from the far-flungprovinces wereenormous: it is over 2,000 kilometres from Baghdad to Merv,the political centre of the great province of Khurāsān, and 1,500 kilometres from the capital to the HolyCity of Mecca. The barīd postal system inherited from the Umayyads and Sasanians was surprisingly effective at communicatingurgent messages over these huge distan- ces.¹ When the caliph al-Rashīdd ied in the year 809 at Ṭūs( near Mashhad in north-east Iran) amessenger broughtthe news to Baghdadintwelvedays, trav- eling 1,900 kilometres at an averagespeed of 150 kilometres per day. -

Archives in Medieval Islam by ERNST POSNER

The ruler, therefore, needs persons to help him in the matters concerned with 'the sword,' 'the pen,' and finances; and among them the pen ranks high."1 It may have been thought to rank even higher than the sword and finances, for, according to Muslim tradition, the pen was the first object God created.2 Of its power and creativeness in Islamic culture there can be no doubt, and those who wielded the pen enjoyed great esteem. Poets and literati lent their talents to the business of government and, according to Ibn al-Sayrafl, achieved "with the pen what the sword and the lance over a long period of years had been unable to produce."3 Unfortunately, the use of the pen as an instrument of Muslim policy and the preservation of the products of the pen, namely offi- cial documents, have received too little attention so far. As a re- sult, archives-keeping in the Muslim states during the Middle Ages has not been fully recognized as a continuation of preceding prac- The author, Fellow and past president of the Society, continues with this essay his history of archives administration begun in Archives in the Ancient World [Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; xviii, 283 p., illus.; bibliography, index; $>io] pub- lished in May 1972. -

NOVEMBER, 1926 NO.1 THE LIFE OF CLEVELAND H. DODGE The Great Friend oj the Near East. I have been requested by the editor of the English issue of AI-Kulliyyah to prepare an article on Cleveland H. Dodge, placing special emphasis on his interest in the Near East. All I can do is to state a few facts simply-their unusual significance must be left to the imagination of the reader. Cleveland H. Dodge came from an old American family which has been distinguished for many generations for its re ligious zeal and philanthropy. The first member settled in Salem, Mass., in 1629. The first New York member of the family was David Low Dodge, born in Connecticut in 1774. He came to New York in 1805 as a partner in the largest wholesale dry goods house in the city. David married a daughter of the Rev. Aaron Cleveland, grandfather of Grover Cleveland-a former president of the United States. David Low Dodge founded a line of philanthropists. For five generations the name has been prominent in finance, social and religious work. He was one of the founders of the American Tract and Bible Society and the first president of the American Peace Society. He wrote several books on religious subjects, one being "War Inconsistent with the Religion of Jesus Christ." His son, William Earl Dodge, became in 1833 a partner in Phelps, Dodge and Co., which is still one of the greatest houses in the metal industries. -

Les Arméniens En Arménie Occidentale Et Au Moyen Orient
Les Arméniens en Arménie Occidentale et au Moyen Orient Mémorandum Paris, le 04 Octobre 2014 Les Chrétiens en Orient Monsieu r Arménag APRAHAMIAN, Président du Conseil National d’Arménie Occidentale condamne … Garin, le 6 Septembre 2012 […] L’avertissement est clair, en Syrie aujourd’hui le massacre de civils fait partie d’un constat indiscutable, mais je vais aller plus loin dans la réflexion, car pour moi le déclin des Arméniens de Syrie annonce la fin des Chrétiens en Orient. Bien que nous ayons entrepris depuis plusieurs mois un travail diplomatique afin de préserver au mieux nos populations, le constat est le suivant, des groupuscules criminels n’hésitent pas à verser le sang de nos familles, uniquement parce qu’elles sont arméniennes et chrétiennes, ce crime est donc un crime raciste. Dans ce contexte et devant ce constat d’absence d’une protection d’Etat, le Conseil National Arménien que je préside n’a pas d’autres choix que de faire un appel à la solidarité nationale et internationale afin qu’on puisse obtenir les moyens nécessaires pour mettre en place rapidement une protection des quartiers et localités sensibles. En toute conscience et connaissance de cause, je vous prie de prendre compte de cette requête. Il n’est pas question pour notre Conseil d’abandonner les Chrétiens en générale et les Arméniens de Syrie en particulier « à leur sort » […] Arménag APRAHAMIAN 1 2016 Dossier Conseil National d’Arménie Occidentale Les Arméniens d’Arménie Occidentale en Syrie / Cilicie Communiqué en direction du Président de la République française Collectif des Arméniens et des minorités de Syrie COMMUNIQUÉ Paris, lundi 16 Septembre 2013 Monsieur François HOLLANDE Président de la République Française, Le collectif des représentants des peuples autochtones et des minorités de Syrie salue votre décision de vouloir consulter le rapport de l’O.N.U relatif à l’utilisation d’armes à destructions massives dans la guerre qui se déroule en Syrie. -

AJSHR, Vol. 1, No. 2, APR-MAY 2020 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN RESEARCH ISSN: 2690-9626 Vol. 1, No.2, Apr-May 2020 Empire of Timur and its role in the economic development of Maverannahr M.Mukkhammedov1 1Samarkand Institute of Economics and Services, Samarkand, Uzbekistan Email: [email protected] Correspondent author: [email protected] Abstract: The article contains historical facts of a change in the economic life of the people living in the territory of modern Uzbekistan over the past 600 years - from the reign of A. Timur to the present day. The focus is on the heyday of the economy of Maverannahr during the reign of Timur and Timurids in the XI-XU centuries. and a new round of the rise and prosperity of Uzbekistan after gaining its independence and independent development. The genetic connection between the Timurov era and the current model of socio-economic development runs a red thread through the centuries-old rich history of Uzbekistan. In the era of Timur, the problems of the independence of the people, their spiritual and material well-being, were solved by other means. Today, these same noble goals are achieved by other, modern, civilized means and methods. The economic decline after the collapse of the Timurov power during the Sheibanids, the formation of small feudal states on the territory of Maverannahr and their colonization by the Russian Empire, endless wars and interethnic conflicts. The contradictions and oppositions of social forces found a detailed and consistent presentation. A special place in the book is given to the new and latest economic history of Uzbekistan after its accession to the USSR, its unique transition to a new round of growth and prosperity.
