  Journal of the American Oriental Society, Vol. 89, No. 1 (Jan. - Mar., 1969), pp. 88-105

  Abstract

  "The article begins with a brief discussion of the author (d. 334 A.H. = 944 C.E.) and his History of Mosul, of which a unique copy of the second of three volumes is found in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin. The article attempts to verify the names of the governors of Mosul for the period covered in the manuscript (101-224 A.H.) and the dates of their tenure of office; to outline their background and careers, where possible; to indicate their significant contributions to the historical development of Mosul; to point out important political developments during their governorships; to draw conclusions concerning the administration of Mosul, such as that 1) Mosul was the seat of a province that was administratively separate from the administration of the greater province of al-Jazira, and 2) that the office of chief qadi of Mosul came into being only during the caliphate of al-Mansur; and briefly to point out the relationship of al-Azdi's work to the later Mosulite and historian, Ibn al-Athir."
