Baghdad During the Abbasid Caliphate was first published in 1900
and is, according to the author, the first attempt at a complete
history and topographic outline of the city of Baghdad during the
reign of the Abbasids, who ruled from 750 to 1258 A.D. In addition
to including a chronological timetable, this work contains the
history of the foundation of Baghdad, the building of the canals,
gates, roads, trenches, quarters, and palaces (all in great
detail), and descriptions of the early, middle, and late periods of
the Abbasid Caliphate. This work is ideal for scholars of ancient
world and Middle East history, especially those interested in early
studies of Islam. GUY LE STRANGE (1854-1933) was born in
Hunstanton, Norfolk, England, as the youngest son of Henry
L'Estrange Styleman. He studied Arabic and Persian at the College
de France in Paris, after which he spent many years traveling and
living abroad in Persia, Florence, and Palestine. He settled in
Cambridge in 1907, where he contributed to The Journal of the Royal
Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, of which he was a
member until his death. Le Strange was the editor and translator of
several well-known books on the Middle East and Islam, establishing
him as one of the most recognized historical geographers of
medieval Islam to write in English.
