تاريخ شام

The History of Syria

The cognizance of the actual economic and political situation of great Islamic cities on the eve of Islam, has a certain and crucial importance to study certain ^ Islamic regions. There are rare studies whose particular and exclusive concern would be the history of Islamic cities. Tarikh Bilad ash-Sham al-Iqtisadi fi ʹAsr al-Umavi (The history of Syria under Umayyads)is a study that exclusively focused on the economic history of Syria during Ummayad era. The author industriously attempted to examine this subject through a scrutiny of early geographical works of Muslims and recent western studies.
