An insight into the life and times of al-Ma’mum, the Abbasid caliph best known for sponsoring the translation of Greek philosophy into Arabic.

This accessible biography treats al-Ma''mum (786-833) as the product of his age, which was a formative period in the development of Islamic law and theology. It presents him in his many facets: rebel, rationalist, scientist, poet, politician, warrior, inquisitor, and self-proclaimed defender of the faith. Drawing on contemporary sources, some friendly and others hostile, it offers a comprehensive portrait of a fascinating figure in Islamic history.
