This book re-examines the so-called Ἁbbāsid revolution, the ethnic character of whose effective constituency has been contested for over eight decades. It also brings to question the authenticity of the Ἁbbāsid dynastic claim. To establish its two theses (neither Arab nor Ἁbbāsid) this book employs, in its three parts, three distinct methodological approaches. To reconstruct the secret history of the clandestine Organization, Part One elicits a narrative through a rigorous application of the historical-critical method. Part Two subjects to close textual analysis some prime-grade literary specimen. In Part Three, a purely quantitative approach is adopted to study the demographic character of the formal structures of leadership within the Organization. History, historiography, heresiography, literature, the narrative, the textual analysis, and the quantitative approach, cannot be less inseparable.

The history of the early 'Abbasid Caliphate has long been studied as a factual or interpretive synthesis of various accounts preserved in the medieval Islamic chronicles. Tayeb El-Hibri's book breaks with the traditional approach, applying a literary-critical reading to examine the lives of the caliphs. By focusing on the reigns of Harun al-Rashid and his successors, the study demonstrates how the various historical accounts were not in fact intended as faithful portraits of the past, but as allusive devices used to shed light on controversial religious, political and social issues of the period. The analysis also reveals how the exercise of decoding Islamic historigraphy, through an investigation of the narrative strategies and thematic motifs used in the chronicles, can uncover new layers of meaning and even identify the early narrators. This is an important book which represents a landmark in the field of early Islamic historiography.

En 132/750, les Abbassides s’emparèrent du pouvoir au terme d’un mouvement dénonçant l’injustice des Umayyades. La réforme de l’appareil judiciaire, contribuant à affermir leur légitimité, fut une des réalisations majeures de la nouvelle dynastie. La centralisation de la justice, l’uniformisation juridique et l’étroite association des cadis au souverain firent de la judicature un instrument politique essentiel aux yeux du califat. Les Abbassides ne pouvaient pourtant prévoir les conséquences de cette réforme qui devait, à terme, fragiliser les fondements de leur autorité. En diminuant la dépendance des cadis vis-à-vis des pouvoirs locaux, ils ouvrirent la voie à de nouvelles revendications. Il n’allait plus de soi, désormais, que les cadis tenaient leur autorité judiciaire du calife. Ce livre retrace l’évolution de la judicature et de sa place au sein de l’État abbasside, en restituant les dimensions spatiales, temporelles et sociales de l’administration judiciaire, ainsi que la dynamique des relations entre les cadis d’Iraq et le califat. Lorsque les Abbassides perdirent la réalité du pouvoir au profit des Būyides, en 334/945, la judicature était métamorphosée. D’un fonctionnaire au service de son délégant, le cadi était devenu un magistrat capable de défendre son autonomie judiciaire.

Cet ouvrage entend démontrer qu’une solide culture de l’écriture de l’histoire existait dans la Syrie du 2e/8e siècle, et propose de nouvelles approches méthodologiques afin d’offrir un accès vers cette historiographie perdue, tiraillée entre mémoire et oubli. En étudiant la fabrique des héros omeyyades ou des mythes d’origines abbassides, cette étude s’efforce de mettre au jour les significations successives données à l’histoire syrienne, et d’identifier les différentes strates d’écritures et de réécritures de l’histoire au cours des premiers siècles de l’islam. L’ensemble de ces éléments conduit à proposer une histoire du sens de l’espace syrien, articulée autour de la thématique du pouvoir, qui donne une profonde cohérence à la période, par-delà la césure dynastique de 132/750. This book intends to demonstrate that a robust culture of historical writing existed in 2nd/8th century Syria, and to offer new methodological approaches to access this now lost history, torn between memory and oblivion. By studying the making of Umayyad heroes or Abbasid origins-myths, this study aims to reveal the successive meanings granted to Syrian history, and to identify the various layers of historical writing and rewriting during the first centuries of Islam. Taken together, these elements make possible a history of the meaning of the very space of Syria, articulated around power and its expression, which grants a clear coherence to the period, extending well beyond the dynastic caesura of 132/750.
