Karmath: An Arabian Tale is a book written by Edward Upham that tells the story of the Karmathians, a group of Islamic extremists who emerged in the 9th century in the Arabian Peninsula. The book explores the history, beliefs, and practices of the Karmathians, who were known for their radical ideas and violent actions. The story follows the life of Abu Tahir, a Karmathian leader who rebelled against the Abbasid Caliphate and established his own state in Bahrain. The book also delves into the political and social context of the time, including the rivalry between the Abbasids and the Fatimids, and the struggles for power and control in the region. Through the tale of Abu Tahir and the Karmathians, Upham provides a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of medieval Arabia, and offers insights into the religious and political movements that shaped the region's history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Islamic history, Middle Eastern studies, or the history of religious extremism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
