Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Sa'id bin Jubayr is a legendary figure from the first century of Islam. He is renowned as a scholar of the Qur'an who famously rebelled against the governor of Iraq, al-Hajjaj. His altercation with al-Hajjaj and his subsequent beheading earned him admiration in multiple factions of Islam. These aspects of his life in combination with his African descent and supposed prowess in chess, create an intricate character who lived in a time for which contemporary historical sources are largely absent. Sa'id bin Jubayr: An African scholar and rebel in Early Islam focuses on Ibn Jubayr as he has been presented in Western scholarship of Islam from the middle of the nineteenth century up until today. In the various academic debates, the remarkable facets of his life and work have been part of arguments or illustrations, frequently in comparison with other notable figures of his time. Despite the paucity of historical and archaeological evidence, the discussions in Arabic and Islamic studies as well as in additional fields, such as African studies and chess history, demonstrate the importance of Ibn Jubayr in today's scholarship and the different ways in which he continues to intrigue those who are exposed to his exceptional story.

Paperback. Condición: New. The rich history of Egypt has provided famous examples of board games played in antiquity. Each of these games provides evidence of contact between Egypt and its neighbours. From pre-dynastic rule to Arab and Ottoman invasions, Egypt's past is visible on game boards. This volume starts by introducing the reader to board games as well as instruments of chance and goes on to trace the history and distribution of ancient Egyptian games, looking particularly at how they show contact with other cultures and civilizations. Game practices, which were also part of Egyptian rituals and divination, travelled throughout the eastern Mediterranean. This book explores the role of Egypt in accepting and disseminating games during its long history. Over the last few years, the extent and the modes of contact have become better understood through museum and archival research projects as well as surveys of archaeological sites in Egypt and its surrounding regions.
