Transregional and regional elites of various backgrounds were essential for the integration of diverse regions into the early Islamic Empire, from Central Asia to North Africa. This volume is an important contribution to the conceptualization of the largest empire of Late Antiquity. While previous studies used Iraq as the paradigm for the entire empire, this volume looks at diverse regions instead. After a theoretical introduction to the concept of 'elites' in an early Islamic context, the papers focus on elite structures and networks within selected regions of the Empire (Transoxiana, Khurāsān, Armenia, Fārs, Iraq, al-Jazīra, Syria, Egypt, and Ifrīqiya). The papers analyze elite groups across social, religious, geographical, and professional boundaries. Although each region appears unique at first glance, based on their heterogeneous surviving sources, its physical geography, and its indigenous population and elites, the studies show that they shared certain patterns of governance and interaction, and that this was an important factor for the success of the largest empire of Late Antiquity.

Written in the tenth century by the Persian geographer Ibn al-Faqīh al-Hamaḏānī, the Abridged Book of the Countries is a living testimony to the world view that the inhabitants of Dâr al-Islâm might have at that time. “According to‘ Abd Allāh b. ‘Amr b. al-‘Ās b. Wā’il aṣ-Sahmī, the figure of the world below is divided into five: it is like the head of the bird, the two wings, the chest, the tail. The head of the world is China; beyond China is a people called Wāq-wāq, and, beyond Wāq-wāq, peoples of which Allah alone knows the number; the right wing is India and, beyond India, the sea after which there is no one; the left wing is al-Ḫazar and, behind al-Ḫazar, two so-called peoples, one Manšak, the other Māšak, behind which Gog and Magog (Yāǧūǧ and Māǧūǧ) who are among the peoples known to God only ; the breast of the world is Mecca, Hejaz, Syria, Iraq and Egypt; the tail goes from Ḏāt al-Ḥumām to Maġrib, and the worst part of the bird is the tail. "Basing himself mainly on the Qur'an and on the historical traditions, verses, quotes and sayings he may have heard, Ibn al-Faqīh gives us a description of all the wonders of the territories known to man: the Peninsula Arabian, Egypt and the Nile, the Maġrib, Syria, the Ğazīra, the Land of the Rūm, Iraq and the Eastern Countries. Over a thousand years old, this book, strewn with stories and curiosities of all kinds, offers its reader, between history, myth and legend, the most beautiful of journeys, even if it is still.
