Publisher Description The History of the Armenian priest ewond is an important source for the history of early Islamic rule and the only contemporary chronicle of second/eighth-century caliphal rule in Armenia. This volume presents a diplomatic edition and new English translation of ewonds text, which describes events that took place during the century and a half following the Prophet Muammads death in AH 11/632 CE. The authors address ewonds account as a work of caliphal history, written in Armenian, from within the Caliphate. As such, this book provides a critical reading of the Caliphate from one of its most significant provinces.Reading notes clarify many aspects of the period covered to make the text understandable to students and specialists alike. Extensive commentary elucidates ewonds narrative objectives and situates his History in a broader Near Eastern historiographical context by bringing the text into new conversations with a constellation of Arabic, Greek, and Syriac works that cover the same period. The book thus stresses the multiplicity of voices operating in the Caliphate in this pivotal period of Near Eastern history.
