This study outlines the main features of the theory and practice of
political power in Muslim polities in the Middle Ages against the
background of Near Eastern traditions of kingship, particularly
Hellenistic, Persian, and Byzantine. The early Arab-Muslim polity
is treated as an integral part of late Antiquity and the book
explores the way in which older traditions were transposed into
Islamic form and given specifically Islamic textual sanction.
