MES 2.02 Introduction to Early Islamic History
In the sixth and seventh centuries, various territories were brought into the fold of Islam, and in the following period, they experienced dramatic continuities and changes. This course will study these processes. Together, we will chart the late antique pre-Islamic world, the formation of Islam, the rise of centralized empires such as those of the Umayyads and the Abbasids, and the fragmentation of their central authority.
