From Babylonia to the Abbasid Empire through the
present day, from Assyrians to Kurds to Turkomen, from Islamic sects to
Iraqi Christians and Jews, the Historical Dictionary is an invaluable
resource. Iraq holds a special place in Islamic history, where the nascent
religion of the Arabs was transformed into a "golden age"
under the Abbasid caliphs in the ninth and tenth centuries of the common

other cities within the Abbasid Caliphate Empire. |
