Medieval Islam
This course surveys the development of Islam in
the medieval period through historical,
sociological and literary lenses. We will cover
major dynasties and movements from the
Abbasids to the Fatimids in the Middle East and
North Africa. We will also study notable historical
figures, such as Omar Khayyam, and consider
the endurance and relevance of philosophy and
poetry produced during this time in the
contemporary Middle East and Europe. The
course concludes with a brief overview of the
Crusades and the early history of Islam in
Europe.
