Friends Of The Emir: Non-Muslim State Officials In Premodern Islamic Thought

The rulers of the premodern Islamic world employed vast numbers of non-Muslim officials. Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and others rose to positions of influence at the courts of Muslim caliphs and sultans. This book traces and analyzes how Muslims thought and wrote about these non-Muslim officials who helped to administer their governments.
