📜✨ Oh, let's dust off the scrolls and pretend we care about ancient medical trivia for a sec! Apparently, Islamic medicine wasn't just about chanting incantations and using leeches—who knew? 🤷♂️ Clearly, we all need a history lesson on how this might somehow be relevant in 2018! 🙄📚

In Islamic history, the waqf (plural: awqaf) represents a tradition that underpinned the development of Muslim societies. A practice rooted in faith and generosity, waqf was a system of endowments that provided cradle-to-grave support for communities, funding hospitals, schools, mosques, and even public infrastructure.

In #Islamicstudies there is a subject called Usul al Fiqh (Principles of Law/Jurisprudence). Combined with #islamicHistory, the 2 show us not only the sources of law, but how it was implemented (eg. cases of the ruler being tried under the law).
Contrast that with our modern reality and how laws are:
- complicated
- arbitrary
- selectively enforcedThis applies at the human and state level.
If laws have no application after a certain wealth/power level, is there any real justice?

To folks in the fediverse working in Islamic Studies (broadly conceived), some colleagues of mine, Jonathan Parkes Allen and Taimoor Shahid, are conducting a survey on Digital Humanities and Islamic Studies. They're not just looking for people who consider themselves DH practitioners, but rather "anyone using digital resources and tools" in studying the Islamicate world. If that's you, then please check it out!

The Mongol conqueror #Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu captured #Baghdad and ended the Abbasid #caliphate in the city in 1258.
I just read a text that asserts that around 25 years later, the Muslim vizier Shams al-Din Juvayni was involved in a plot to restore the caliphate, but he was put to death when Hulegu's grandson Arghun overthrew his uncle Teguder Ahmad. This is probably just slander, but it is surprising slander in a #Syriac text written in the late 1310s!
I'm (re)reading the History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Sawma.

I'm playing around with the early-#Abbasid-era #Armenian history of Ghevond, and there's a few references to "the sons of Smbat."
The odd thing is that Smbat is usually a Bagratuni name at that period, but the editors conclude that here it must refer to some Mamikoneans, Grigor, Dawit', and Mushegh.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagratuni_family_tree#Arabic_Caliphate
There's a difficulty in the text in that p.214 says Grigor and Dawit' were imprisoned in Yemen for the rest of their lives, but p.254 says the "sons of Smbat" were freed by caliph al-Walid II, detained in Syria at hiss death, and then escaped in the chaos of the civil war.
One solution is to read "for the rest of their lives" as a sentence, later abrogated, but it doesn't read that way to me. Alternatively we might emend "their lives" to "his life," and the next caliph freed them.
