Blurb by author: Rituals of Islamic Monarchy is the first full-length study of the rituals by which the caliphs were made rulers of the early Muslim empire. It is an original contribution to scholarship on early Islam and the Middle East, which gives important insights into the formation of classical Islamic culture and civilisation. It clearly sets out the particular evidential problems of early Islamic history and identifies strategies for overcoming them. It also engages with the problem of how Islamic history relates to the history of the pre-Islamic Middle East, arguing for the importance of the pre-Islamic, Arabian context of early Islam, as well as a wider perspective that takes in the legacy of the pre-Islamic empires of Rome and Iran. 606 $aIslam$xRituals$xHistory 606 $aIslam$xPolitics and government 606 $aIslam and politics$xHistory 606 $aState, The$zIslamic Empire 606 $aCaliphate 607 $aIslamic Empire$xKings and rulers$xSuccession 615 0$aIslam$xRituals$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aIslam and politics$xHistory. 615 0$aState, The 615 0$aCaliphate. 676 $a297.38 700 $aMarsham$b Andrew$f1973-$01561180 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778080203321 996 $aRituals of Islamic monarchy$93827694 997 $aUNINA
