| Sumario: | "ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz b. Marwān (d. 86/705), brother of the famed state-building caliph, ʻAbd al-Malik b. Marwān (d. 86/705), reigned as the amīr of Egypt and heir apparent to the Umayyad caliphate for over twenty years. ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz, however, died just a few months before his brother ʻAbd al-Malik, and thus never ascended to the caliphate. The combination of his early death, the limited treatment of Egypt in the early Arabic historical sources, and the illustrious history of ʻAbd al-Malik have left ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz a largely unknown figure in western scholarship. This study seeks to revive the career of this largely forgotten amīr and demonstrate the critical role he played in the formation of the Marwānid dynasty, as well as the great autonomy he exercised within Egypt"--back cover. |
