ISBN10: 1937040550, ISBN13: 9781937040550, [publisher: Lockwood Press, Atlanta] Softcover Paperback. The "inquisition" (Mihnah) unleashed by the seventh Abbasid caliph, 'Abdallah al-Ma'mun (r. 813-833), has long attracted the attention of modern scholars of the intellectual, political, and religious history of the early Abbasid era. Historians have seen it as the key to a wide array of puzzles and problems in early Islamic history.
