In a chronicle of epic sweep, Yaḥyā of Antioch, an Arab Christian historian, vividly describes nearly a century of interlocking Byzantine and Muslim histories. Yaḥyā chronicles lust for power, palace intrigues, the birth and death of dynasties, and natural disasters in a world dominated by Islam. He even takes the reader beyond the borders of the Byzantine empire and into the emerging powers of Bulgaria, Khazaristan, and Russia.
