Religious Scholars and the Umayyads - Judd, Steven

Religious Scholars and the Umayyads analyzes legal and theological developments during the Marwanid period (64/684--132/750), focusing on religious scholars who supported the Umayyad caliphate. It includes a prosopographical study of Umayyad-era scholars and offers a new approach to using later Arabic historical sources to study the Umayyad period.
