Abbasid Civilization
This course covers Arabic cultural production from 750 to 850, one of the periods often described as the Islamic golden age. Students will learn to read formative texts in a variety of genres, including history, biography, Qur’an-commentary, Hadith, legal theory, prose essays, and poetry, as well as modern Arabic scholarship on this period. Questions to be addressed include the relationship of standard and non-standard languages, the emergence of religious and literary institutions, and the retrospective creation of a golden age.
