SIS Description: The course will introduce students to the political history of Abbasid Baghdad from 762 to about 1300 CE. The Abbasids -- monarchs of the Arab/Islamic Empire -- reigned for 500 years, mostly from Baghdad, though many historians hold that their decision-making authority largely collapsed by the mid-10th century. The course will also introduce students to the study of early Arabic/Islamic historiography through the close study of primary texts.
