A Literary History of the Arabs
GHAZNEVIDS AND HAMDANIDS 269 example, by his shabby treatment of the poet Firdawsi. Nevertheless, he ardently desired the glory and prestige accruing to a sovereign v/hose court formed the rallying-point of all that was best in the literary and scientific culture of the day, and such was Ghazna in the eleventh century. Besides the brilliant group of Persian poets, with Firdawsi at their head, we may mention among the Arabic-writing authors who flourished under this dynasty the historians al-'Utbi and al-Blruni. While the Eastern Empire of Islam was passing into the hands of Persians and Turks, we find the Arabs still holding their own in Syria and Mesopotamia down to ^(?2^i^j^S ^*^^ ^"'^ ^'^ ^^^ ^^"^^ century. These Arab and generally nomadic dynasties were seldom of much account. The Hamddnids of Aleppo alone deserve to be noticed here, and that chiefly for the sake of the peerless Sayfu '1-Dawla, a worthy descendant of the tribe of Taghlib, which in the days of heathendom produced the poet-warrior, 'Amr b. Kulthum. 'Abdullah b. Hamdan was appointed governor of Mosul and its dependencies by the Caliph Muktafi in 905 a.d., and in 942 his sons Hasan and 'AH received the complimentary titles of Nasiru '1-Dawla (Defender of the State) and Sayfu '1-Dawla (Sword of the State). Two years later Sayfu '1-Dawla captured Aleppo and brought the whole of Northern Syria under his dominion. During a reign of twenty-three years he was continuously engaged in harrying the Byzantines on the frontiers of Asia Minor, but although he gained some glorious victories, which his laureate Mutanabbi has immortalised, the fortune of war went in the long run steadily against him, and his successors were unable to preserve their little kingdom from being crushed between the Byzantines in the north and the Fatimids in the south. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract This thesis uncovers the presence of musical structures within Zoroastrian prayer performance and articulates the details of these structures and also the way in which they are manifested and are passed down through generations. Initial research included an amalgamation and examination of the few references to music in Zoroastrian prayer that there are to be found in existing literature. The bulk of the research involved travelling to different countries to make contemporary sound recordings of prayers and to conduct extensive interviews with priests. Archival recordings were also gathered as data for examination. The evolution of the status and role of priests within the Zoroastrian community from antiquity to the present day as well as the training they receive is presented in order to understand the social as well as religious context within which Zoroastrian prayer is performed and taught. -
