Jaziran Identity

[Rodrigo Adem]

Dear All,

Is there a study concerning (or are there illustrative examples of) "Jaziran" identity in N. Mesopotamia via Syriac Christian texts?  Studies in any language welcome.

Best Wishes,

Rodrigo

Dear Rodrigo,

I can suggest the following studies:

Philip Wood, The Imam of the Christians. The World of Dionysius of Tel-Mahre, c. 750–850, Princeton University Press 2021.

Philip Wood, “Christian Elite Networks in the Jazīra, c. 730-850,” in Transregional and Regional Elites. Connecting the Early Islamic Empire, eds. H.-L. Hagemann and S. Heidemann, De Gruyter, 2020, pp. 359-383.

Chase Robinson, Empire and Elites after the Muslim Conquest. The Transformation of Northern Mesopotamia, Cambridge University Press, 2000, pp. 33-61

You might also look in Jack Tannous,  The Making of the Medieval Middle East: Religion, Society, and Simple Believers, which also discusses hagiographic sources which are of relevance for your question, some of them having been edited and translated just recently.

Best wishes

jonathan
