Here are the final set of slides from Summer 2006’s course: Islamic History: the first 150 Years.  These slides are on the initial stages of the Abbasid Revolution.

As this brings to an end the material from this course, I will insha Allah begin posting slides from my other courses soon.

I’ve been raiding the archives of BBC Radio 4 recently.  Here’s one from the vaults of their excellent In Our Time series (hosted by Melvyn Bragg).  This one looks at the wonders of Baghdad under the Abbasid Caliphs.
