Umayyad Vocabulary on Administrative Objects from Palestine
Amitai, Nitzan
2012
Abstract
Both history sources as well as archaeological objects tell us about the past of
a place.
The writing of the Islamic history started already during the third quarter of
the seventh century by Syrian writers who wrote about the Islamic conquests.
But those books have been lost, and they are only mentioned in treaties written
in the 9th and 10th centuries (ELAD 2003). Historical sources writing about Umayyad Palestine are non-existing except for one Samaritan source that was written in Arabic in 1355 C.E. This source
only seldom writes about other communities other then the Samaritans.
