Baghdad: From its Beginnings to the 14th Century offers an
exhaustive handbook that covers all possible themes connected to
the history of this urban complex in Iraq, from its origins rooted
in late antique Mesopotamia up to the aftermath of the Mongol
invasion in 1258. Against the common perception of a city founded
762 in a vacuum, which, after experiencing a heyday in a mythical
"golden age" under the early 'Abbasids, entered since 900 a long
period of decline that ended with a complete collapse by savage
people from the East in 1258, the volume emphasizes the continuity
of Baghdad's urban life, and shows how it was marked by its destiny
as caliphal seat and cultural hub. Contributors Mehmetcan Akpinar,
Nuha Alshaar, Pavel Basharin, David Bennett, Michal Biran, Richard
