SUMMARY:Conference: "Negotiation in Conquest: Wars\, Treaties and Recollections of the Rise of the Caliphate\," Leiden University
DESCRIPTION:Negotiation in Conquest: wars\, treaties and recollections of the rise of the caliphate\n\nDate\nThursday 12 September 2019 – Saturday 14 September 2019\nLocation\nGravensteen\nPieterskerkhof 6\n2311 SR Leiden\nRoom\n0.11\n\n\n\n\nThe great conquests of the seventh and eight centuries brought under Arab-Muslim control an area that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian subcontinent. Military conquests on this scale are remarkable enough; the establishment of a stable empire in the centuries that followed is even more so. How did a military minority succeed in asserting and maintaining durable political dominance over the diverse and dispersed territories of their conquest domains? In short\, how was the establishment of the caliphate realised in the aftermath of the conquests? \nThis conference explores the dynamics of negotiation in the process of conquest and the subsequent building of the caliphate. How did the terms of conquest – the accommodations and agreements made with subjected cities\, regions and their representatives – and the ways in which they were re-evaluated in subsequent centuries contribute to the establishment of short and long-term caliphal rule? In other words how were relations between the different stakeholders of the caliphate shaped by the experiences and memories of the negotiated conditions of the conquest? \nRead more\, at this link. \n\nVenue\nPlease consult the programme for the venues on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 September. \nProgramme\, at this link.\nConfirmed speakers\n\n\n\n\nMichal Biran\nHebrew University of Jerusalem\n\n\nPhil Booth\nUniversity of Oxford\n\n\nMichael Brett\nSOAS\n\n\nJelle Bruning\nLeiden University\n\n\nSimon Coupland\nUniversity of Cambridge\n\n\nCorisande Fenwick\nUniversity College London\n\n\nTim Greenwood\nUniversity of St. Andrews\n\n\nJanneke de Jong\nRadboud University\n\n\nNancy Khalek\nBrown University\n\n\nDoug Lee\nNottingham University\n\n\nMilka Levy-Rubin\nHebrew University of Jerusalem\n\n\nEcaterina Lung\nUniversity of Bucharest\n\n\nDerryl MacLean\nSimon Fraser University\n\n\nHarry Munt\nUniversity of York\n\n\nAnnliese Nef\nUniversité Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne\n\n\nAntonio Panaino\nUniversity of Bologna\n\n\nJanina Safran\nPennsylvania State University\n\n\nMehdy Shaddel\nLeiden University\n\n\nGeorgios Theotokis\nBoğaziçi University\n\n\nZhan Zhang\nNew York University\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration for the conference is open.

It includes thousands of Arabic\, Persian and Ottoman manuscripts\, not only from the historic heartlands of Islam but also from Asia\, al-Andalus and Africa.
