Chronicle of Zuqnin: A.D. 488-775: 36 (Mediaeval Sources in Translation) Paperback – 7 Sept. 1999
Purchase options and add-ons
Part IV deals with the seventh and eighth centuries. The entries are more developed for the few years after 715, while the accounts dealing with the period between 767 and 775 grow very detailed, even verbose. The rapcious economic policy of the early 'Abbasid caliphs is the main theme, a policy which turned the particularly wealthy province of the Jazira (northern Syria) into ruins, due to the blatant exploitation of its human and agricultural resources.
