The goal of the conference was to address a simple question: Just what role did non-Muslims play in the operations of the Umayyad state? The eight papers in this volume thus focus on that question.
"The papers in this first volume of the new Oriental Institute series LAMINE are derived from a conference entitled Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians in the Umayyad State, held at the University of Chicago on June 1718, 2011. The goal of the conference was to address a simple question: Just what role did non-Muslims play in the operations of the Umayyad state? It has always been clear that the Umayyad family (r. 41132/661750) governed populations in the rapidly expanding empire that were overwhelmingly composed of non-Muslims mainly Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians and the status of those non-Muslim communities under Umayyad rule, and more broadly in early Islam, has been discussed continuously for more than a century. The role of non-Muslims within the Umayyad state has been, however, largely neglected. The eight papers in this volume thus focus on non-Muslims who participated actively in the workings of the Umayyad government.
