Where it came from
Published in 2020 by IB Tauris, this scholarly volume examines the seminal ninth-century Arabic text Futuh al-Buldan, or 'Conquest of the Lands,' by Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Baladhuri. Ryan J. Lynch provides a critical analysis of how this foundational source shaped early Islamic narratives, focusing on the historical methodology used by al-Baladhuri to document the rapid expansion of the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates.
Lynch’s work is situated within the field of modern Islamic historiography, aiming to deconstruct the tension between historical fact and the ideological narratives embedded in classical texts. By scrutinizing the transmission of these early accounts, the author seeks to provide clarity on how the Arab conquests were conceptualized and codified by subsequent generations of historians, earning the book recognition among academics for its rigorous engagement with primary source material.
