{"product_id":"9781479850983","title":"Consorts Of The Caliphs: Women And The Court Of Baghdad (Library Of Arabic Literature, 2)","description":"In this work, Ibn al-Sa?i is keen to forge a connection between the munificent wives of his time and the storied lovers of the so-called golden age of Baghdad. Thus, from the earlier period, we find Harun al-Rashid pining for his brother's beautiful slave; al-Wathiq falling for a slave who belonged to one of his other slaves; and the artistry of such musical and literary celebrities as ?Arib and Fadl, who bested the male poets and singers of their day. From times closer to Ibn al-Sa?i's own?hen Abbasid authority was trying to reassert itself and Baghdad was again a major center of intellectual and religious activity?e meet women such as Banafsha, who endowed law colleges, had bridges built, and provisioned pilgrims bound for Mecca; slave women whose funeral services were led by caliphs; and noble Saljuq princesses from Afghanistan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eIbn al-Sa?i, ??? ??????? ??? ?? ?????\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eNyu Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMay 15, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e272 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1479850985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781479850983\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nyu Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50135137648945,"sku":"9781479850983","price":41.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781479850983.jpg?v=1728710085","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781479850983","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
