PUBLISHERS NOTE

The articles in this volume, as in all others in the Variorum Collected Studies Series, have not been given a new, continuous pagination. In order to avoid confusion, and to facilitate their use where these same studies have been referred to elsewhere, the original pagination has been maintained wherever possible.

Each article has been given a Roman number in order of appearance, as listed in the Contents. This number is repeated on each page and is quoted in the index entries.

PREFACE

This volume brings together all the articles I published between 1980 to 2000 on the history of religious, legal and political thought in the Near East from pre-Islamic times until the twelfth century, with the exception of two: a paper on The Rise of the Muslim Sects published in Chinese in 1993, now superseded by ch. 2 of my book Medieval Islamic Political Thought, Edinburgh 2004 (published in America under the title Gods Rule. Government and Religion in Islam. Six Centuries of Medieval Islamic Political Thought, Columbia 2004), and a lecture given on Islam and Messianic Politics in Frankfurt in 2000, which is too preliminary to merit republication. The other articles I wrote in the same period, mostly on Umayyad and Abbsid history, will appear in a second volume.

Most of the articles have been furnished with postscripts in which the reader will find additions and corrections. My first two pieces, however, were on subjects that I have not looked at since (Byzantine iconoclasm and the qasma respectively). I have abstained from the attempt to update or correct these articles in any way and simply refer the reader to some works that will enable the reader to get into these subjects as they look now. There are also a couple of articles so recent that I have not got anything to add to them yet.
