Al-Maqrīzī's text is embedded in the broader context of the genealogical tradition as a major organising principle in premodern Muslim historiography. The volume highlights the segmentary nature of Bedouin society, which resulted in inherently controversial tribal genealogies and historical traditions. The existence of many conflicting versions of the same pedigrees (and of the historical narratives undergirding each version) affected the Muslim historian's work in subtle but profound ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zoltan Szombathy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004677569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004677562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 1.44d","brand":"Zoltan Szombathy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588347506943,"sku":"9789004677562","price":151.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/al-maqrzs-al-abar-an-al-basar-vol-zoltan-szombathy-9789004677562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
