Eighth- and ninth-century Armenia and Caucasian Albania were
largely Christian provinces of the then Islamic Caliphate. Although
they formed a part of the Iranian cultural sphere, they are often
omitted from studies of both Islamic and Iranian history. In this
book, Alison Vacca uses Arabic and Armenian texts to explore these
Christian provinces as part of the Caliphate, identifying elements
of continuity from Sasanian to caliphal rule, and, more
importantly, expounding on significant moments of change in the
administration of the Marwanid and early Abbasid periods. Vacca
examines historical narrative and the construction of a Sasanian
cultural memory during the late ninth and tenth centuries to place
the provinces into a broader context of Iranian rule. This book
will be of benefit to historians of Islam, Iran and the Caucasus,
but will also appeal to those studying themes of Iranian identity
and Muslim-Christian relations in the Near East.
