The Muslim conquest of the East in the seventh century entailed the subjugation of Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians and others. This book traces the emergence of regulations applying to non-Muslim minorities, revealing that the conquered peoples themselves played a major role in the creation of these policies and that they were based on long-standing traditions, customs and institutions from the worlds of the conquerors and the conquered.
