The landmark work in this genre was the introductory tribute to Syria and Damascus from the voluminous biographical dictionary, the Taʾrīkh madīnat Dimashq (History of the city of Damascus), written by Damascene notable Abū l-Qāsim ʿAlī b. ʿAsākir (d. 571/1176) under the patronage of the warrior-prince Nūr al-Dīn b. Zankī, "avenger of the vile, infidel enemies of Muslims." 1 In the decades after 583/1187 when Nūr al-Dīn's successor Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn b. Ayyūb (Saladin) re-conquered Jerusalem ending a century of Crusader rule, the holy city remained a cause célèbre among Muslim intellectuals, especially when Saladin's Ayyubid descendants used the holy city as a bargaining piece in their intra-dynastic struggles for power. At the same time, perhaps not surprisingly, faḍāʾil literature on Jerusalem proliferated. 2 However, faḍāʾil treatises were also being circulated in this period that reflected the vitality of the city of Damascus, second city after Cairo in the Ayyubid confederation, and the assertiveness of its scholarly milieu. 3

This conference explores the ongoing shift of the history of geography and cartography to a diversely linked spatial history of the Islamicate world. Special emphasis is placed on genre, authorship, theme, and reception.
