CALL FOR PAPERSJournal of Abbasid StudiesExecutive Editor: Monique BernardsEditorial Board: Nadia El Cheikh, Robert Gleave,Hugh Kennedy, Joseph Lowry,James Montgomery, John Nawasand Shawkat ToorawaThe Journal of Abbasid Studies (JAS), published by Brill, the Netherlands, is a platform to discuss the political, cultural, social, economic, religious and intellectual life of the Abbasid Caliphate. The journal's time span, from ca. 700 - ca. 1050 AD, is demarcated by the formative period of early Islam on the one end and the arrival of the Seljuqs on the other. Coverage of the Fatimid Caliphate and al-Andalus, for instance, is restricted to their relations with the Abbasids.The editors of JAS invite submissions from established and early career scholars.
