Résumé : This special issue presents a collection of studies of “acts of protection” – specific instances in which protection is offered, enforced, requested, or withheld – in different contexts within and beyond the early Islamic empire. In nine case studies, literary scholars and historians examine varied mechanisms of social protection, based on literary and documentary sources in Arabic, Bactrian, Coptic, Pahlavi and Persian, and covering a variety of contexts such as pre- and early Islamic Arabia, eighth-century Egypt, Iraq and Sogdiana, as well as twelfth-century Afghanistan and Iran.
Biographie : Edmund Hayes is researcher at the University of Leiden, working in the framework of the ERC-funded project “Embedding Conquest: Naturalising Muslim Rule in the Early Islamic Empire (600-1000)”. He has authored numerous articles at the intersection between the intellectual, religious, and social history of early Islam, including on the institutions of the Shiʿi Imamate, Islamic taxation, excommunication, ethnicity and gender and sexuality. He has written a monograph provisionally entitled Agents of the Hidden Imam: Forging Twelver Shiʿism, 850-950 CE. He gained his doctorate with honours from the University of Chicago in 2015."
