Brings to life the Fatimids, one of the most significant and intriguing Islamic dynasties.
A concise history of the enormously powerful and influential Shii caliphate.
The Fatimids (9091171) built an empire that included North Africa, Egypt, and parts of Sicily, Syria, Palestine, and Arabia. Theirs is the only Muslim dynasty known by a womans name, Fatima, the Prophet Muhammads daughter. The Fatimids promoted women to unprecedented positions of authority and visibility in Islamic history. From Cairo, which they founded in 969, this Shii dynasty fostered cultural and artistic excellence as well as cultural tolerance and prosperity across the empire. Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, the book tells both the historical and ongoing influence of the Fatimids on global culture.
