This book narrates the battles, conquests and diplomatic activities
of the early Muslim fighters in Syria and Iraq vis-a-vis their
Byzantine and Sasansian counterparts. It is the first English
translation of one of the earliest Arabic sources on the early
Muslim expansion entitled Futuh al-Sham (The Conquests of Syria).
The translation is based on the Arabic original composed by a
Muslim author, Muhammad al-Azdi, who died in the late 8th or early
9th century C.E. A scientific introduction to al-Azdi's work is
also included, covering the life of the author, the textual
tradition of the work as well as a short summary of the text's
train of thought. The source narrates the major historical events
during the early Muslim conquests in a region that covers today's
Lebanon, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and
Iraq in the 7th century C.E. Among these events are the major
battles against the Byzantines, such as the Battles of Ajnadayn and
al-Yarmuk, the conquests of important cities, including Damascus,
Jerusalem and Caesarea, and the diplomatic initiatives between the
Byzantines and the early Muslims. The narrative abounds with
history and Islamic theological content. As the first translation
into a European language, this volume will be of interest to a wide
range of readership, including (Muslim and Christian) theologians,
historians, Islamicists, Byzantinists, Syrologists and (Arabic)
linguists.

The Futuh al-Sham (The Conquests of Greater Syria), usually
attributed to Abu Isma'il Muhammad b. 'Abdallah al-Azdi al-Basri,
is one of the primary sources used for historians studying the
early Muslim expansion into Greater Syria. This study revaluates
the Futuh al-Sham narrative and the question of its
compiler-author, investigating the history of the narrative as text
through an analysis of a new manuscript and important parallel
texts, and revisiting the evidence and hypotheses previous scholars
have put forward on both al-Azdi's life and the Futuh al-Sham
narrative's text. It thus offers an overview of the history of
Oriental and Islamic Studies on the basis of one work.
Diese Monografie zeichnet die Einfuhrung und Umsetzung von
Judenabzeichen im islamischen Kulturraum und den christlichen
Landern Mitteleuropas nach. Dabei wird insbesondere die
Ersteinfuhrung dieser Stigmata unter dem Kalifen al-Mutawakkil (im
9. Jahrhundert) untersucht. Die Beschlusse des IV. Laterankonzils
(1215) und deren Interpretation markieren den Anfang der
Judenabzeichen im christlichen Europa. Diese historische Linie
findet mit dem Judenstern im Dritten Reich ihren
menschenunwurdigsten Hoehepunkt. Griff Joseph Goebbels bei der
Einfuhrung des Judensterns auf mittelalterliche Vorbilder zuruck?
Waren den Bischoefen im Mittelalter die islamischen Abzeichen fur
Juden bekannt? Kann es ein Zufall sein, dass alle drei Stigmata
gelb waren?
