Synopsis
The initial years (126-145) of al-Man??r's reign presented several significant challenges to nascent ?Abb?sid hegemony, and the resulting confrontations constitute the central focus of this section of ?abar?'s Tarikh. After Abu Jafar succeeded his brother Ab? Al-?abb?s as caliph, the second of the ?Abb?sid dynasty, he moved against his recalcitrant uncle, ?Abd All?h ibn ?Al?, and against the potential threat that he perceived in the person of the commander in Khurasan, Abu Muslim. Eliminating the latter and containing the former freed the caliph to address a series of other onslaughts and insurrections. Starting with the year 144, however, ?abar? turned to this volume's principal preoccupation, to which half of the book is devoted. Judging by the attention given to it, he clearly perceived the Hasanid rebellions of Muhammad b. Abdallah (the Pure Soul) and of his brother Ibrahim to be the most substantial attack on Abbasid authority to arise in the first years of that dynasty. ?abar?'s description of the prolonged search for Muhammad and Ibrahim and of the caliphal vengeance visited upon their father and family provides an extended prelude to the vivid battle and death scenes in Medina and Bakhamra. Yet, elaboration of these events does not eclipse mention of all other Abbasid activity. To bridge the account of Muhammad's defeat and that of Ibrahim's uprising, ?abar? inserted a narrative interlude depicting the site selection and preliminary construction of al-Man??r's most celebrated achievement, the City of Peace, Baghdad., The initial years (126-145) of al-Manur's reign presented several significant challenges to nascent Abbasid hegemony, and the resulting confrontations constitute the central focus of this section of abari's Tarikh.

- a***s (12872)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI'm very disappointed with this seller! The sent me a book that had water damage. It wasn't listed correctly. I filed for a return and they took all of the 5 days allotted to approve. I shipped it back and they didn't issue a refund when the book arrived. eBay finally had to get involved and issue the refund. Really terrible customer service...never even heard from the seller. I wouldn't order from this vendor again.American Legal Thought from Premodernism to Postmodernism: An Intellectual Voyag (#186860455921)
