Women and courtiers. 330 $aThe reign of al-Muqtadir (295-320/908-32) is a crucial and controversial epoch in the history of the Abbasid empire. Al-Muqtadir?s regime has traditionally been depicted as one of decline, when the political power of the caliphate and the lustre of its capital began to crumble. This book not only offers a substantial investigation of the idea and reality of decline, but also provides new interpretations of the inner workings of the court and the empire. The authors, four specialists of Abbasid history, explore the formal and informal power relationships that shaped politics at the court, involving bureaucrats, military, harem, courtiers and of course al-Muqtadir himself. A study of the topography of Baghdad completes this vivid picture of the court and its capital. 410 0$aIslamic history and civilization ;$vv. 102. 606 $aAbbasids 607 $aIslamic Empire$xHistory$y750-1258 607 $aIslamic Empire$xCourt and courtiers 615 0$aAbbasids. 676 $a909/.0976701 700 $aBerkel$b Maaike van$0944912 701 $aBerkel$b Maaike van$0944912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823831003321 996 $aCrisis and continuity at the Abbasid court$94039612 997 $aUNINA
