| Sumario: | In Licit Magic: The Life and Letters of al-Ṣāḥib born ʻAbbād (d. 385/995) Maurice A. Pomerantz explores the biography and literary output of a major tenth-century Muslim statesman, literary patron, and intellectual. His nearly two-decade reign as vizier on behalf of two Buyid amirs was an important period for the flowering of Arabic letters, Muʻtazilī theology and Shīʻism in Western Iran. Making use of Ibn ʻAbbād's large corpus of letters ( rasāʼil ), Pomerantz explores the role that eloquence played in the conduct of administration, the maintenance of social networks of elites, and persuasion. Licit Magic argues that the eloquent expression that Ibn ʻAbbād displayed in his letters was central to his exercise of power. |
