It also brings to question the authenticity of the ?bb?sid dynastic claim. To establish its two theses (neither Arab nor ?bb?sid) this book employs, in its three parts, three distinct methodological approaches. To reconstruct the secret history of the clandestine Organization, Part One elicits a narrative through a rigorous application of the historical-critical method. Part Two subjects to close textual analysis some prime-grade literary specimen. In Part Three, a purely quantitative approach is adopted to study the demographic character of the formal structures of leadership within the Organization. History, historiography, heresiography, literature, the narrative, the textual analysis, and the quantitative approach, cannot be less inseparable. 410 0$aIslamic History and Civilization ;$v50. 517 3 $aNeither Arab nor ?bb?sid 606 $aAbbasids 607 $aIslamic Empire$xHistory$y750-1258 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAbbasids. 676 $a909/.09767101 700 $aAgha$b Saleh Said$01057021 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450539703321 996 $aThe Revolution which toppled the Umayyads$92491827 997 $aUNINA
