Hardback or Cased Book. Condición: New. Consorts of the Caliphs: Women and the Court of Baghdad. Book.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Summary:Consorts of the Caliphs is a seventh/thirteenth-century compilation of anecdotes about thirty-eight women who were, as the title suggests, consorts to those in power, most of them concubines of the early Abbasid caliphs and wives of latter-day caliphs and sultans. This slim but illuminating volume is one of the few surviving texts by Ibn al-Sa'i (d. 674 H/1276 AD). Ibn al-Sa'i was a prolific Baghdadi scholar who chronicled the academic and political elites of his city, and whose career straddled the final years of the Abbasid dynasty and the period following the cataclysmic Mongol invasion of 656 H/1258 AD.In this work, Ibn al-Sa'i is keen to forge a connection between the munificent wives of his time and the storied lovers of the so-called golden age of Baghdad. Thus, from the earlier period, we find Harun al-Rashid pining for his brother's beautiful slave, Ghadir, and the artistry of such musical and literary celebrities as 'Arib and Fadl, who bested the male poets and singers of their day. From times closer to Ibn al-Sa'i's own--when Abbasid authority was trying to reassert itself and Baghdad was again a major center of intellectual and religious activity--we meet women such as Banafsha, who endowed law colleges, had bridges built, and provisioned pilgrims bound for Mecca; slave women whose funeral services were led by caliphs; and noble Saljuq princesses from Afghanistan.Informed by the author's own sources, his insider knowledge, and well-known literary materials, these singular biographical sketches, though delivered episodically, bring the belletristic culture of the Baghdad court to life, particularly in the personal narratives and poetry of culture heroines otherwise lost to history.…

Leather. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. Contemporary brown calf lettered gilt on spine with blind tooled decorative elements, marbled boards. Cr. 8vo. (18,5 x 13 cm). In Arabic. 104 p. Slight toning on pages, first and last pages are loosely inserted; a piece is missing from the spine; corners bumped; an old label trace on the spine. Overall, a good copy. Uncommon first edition of this early biographical work on the caliphs, covering their lives from the early Islamic period to the last Abbasid caliph, al-Mu'tasim, who was killed during the Mongol invasion. It constitutes the only abridged volume from Ibn al-Sa'î's twenty-five-volume corpus to have been printed at the renowned Bulaq Press. Some sources, however, note that the work attributed to Ibn al-Sa'î may not be genuinely his. (al-'Azzâwî). Ibn al-Sa'î is thought to have finished his corpus in AH 656 [CE 1258], at the time of the Mongol invasion. The "Mukhtaṣar", which formed its ninth volume, was the only part to be printed at the renowned Bulaq Press centuries later. As of March 2026, OCLC locates four copies in the North American libraries: 13490057 & 1227684739.…
