Beskrivning
This volume represents a selection of papers presented at the 2013 Edinburgh Seventh Century Colloquium, showcasing the latest scholarship from a rising generation of academics. The volume traverses the globe from Iran to the Atlantic and from Sweden to the Sahara and ranges from the establishment of the early Islamic state to the beginnings of English Christianity. Topics include the transmission of high culture across time, settlement patterns in a rapidly changing world and the formation of new and emerging identities. The essays also bring into dialogue a wide range of disciplinary and methodological perspectives, including archaeology, literature, history, art, papyrology and economics. Together, they generate valuable new insights into the still uncharted territories of the long seventh century.

Recensioner i media

«This is a valuable, but somewhat heterogeneous, collection of thirteen learned and specialized, yet thought-provoking, essays on different and wide-ranging aspects of seventh-century history. [...] the editors have really accomplished a lot in this modest-sized and highly recommended volurne.»(Walter E. Kaegi, The Historian Vol. 79, Issue 3 2017)
