The essays in this volume deal with the history of the Middle East
from c.550 to 1000 AD. There are three main themes: Syria in Late
Antiquity and the changes and continuities with the early Islamic
period; relations between Muslims and the Byzantine Empire from the
8th to the 11th centuries; and the development of government and
the economy in the early caliphate. Throughout there is an emphasis
on social and economic trends and the integration of written and
archaeological evidence to elucidate the complex developments in
this pivotal part of the world. In different ways all the papers
discuss the formation of the Islamic world and the way in which the
legacy of Antiquity, economic, social and cultural, affected the
emergence of what we think of as this "Islamic World". These papers
will be of interest to historians of Islam and Byzantium but also
western mediaevalists interested in comparing processes of change
at opposite ends of the Mediterranean.
