The Muslim conquest of the East in the seventh century entailed the
subjugation of Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians and others. Although
much has been written about the status of non-Muslims in the
Islamic empire, no previous works have examined how the rules
applying to minorities were formulated. Milka Levy-Rubin's
remarkable book traces the emergence of these regulations from the
first surrender agreements in the immediate aftermath of conquest
to the formation of the canonic document called the Pact of 'Umar,
which was formalized under the early 'Abbasids, in the first half
of the ninth century. The study reveals that the conquered peoples
themselves played a major role in the creation of these policies
and that they were based on long-standing traditions, customs and
institutions from earlier pre-Islamic cultures that originated in
the worlds of both the conquerors and the conquered. In its
connections to Roman, Byzantine and Sasanian traditions, the book
will appeal to historians of Europe as well as Arabia and Persia.
