From Albania to Arrān
The East Caucasus between the Ancient and Islamic Worlds (ca. 330 BCE–1000 CE)
About this book
This volume is the first publication in English to discuss the nature and identity of the polity in the East Caucasus referred to by modern scholars as (Caucasian) Albania. The sporadic and fragmentary character of our sources for this polity means that it is difficult to construct a continuous narrative of its history, and so we offer here studies by leading specialists on particular aspects of it.
