ՙAbbāsid Intrigues: Competing for Influence at the Caliph's Court

This paper looks at the array of counsellors and advisors jostling for power and influence at the court of the ՙAbbāsid caliph al-Muqtadir (r. 295/908-320/932). Both historical and adab sources often describe such conflicts in detail through reported conversations and (first- or second-hand) opinions. Authors/compilers usually have a large amount of such material at their disposal; their choices in selecting and using it reveal different attitudes to particular problems and occasional attempts at advising the current ruler.
