BOOK
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. What the study reveals is that
the conquered peoples themselves played a major role in the
creation of these policies, and that these 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
