Umayyad Lead Sealings

Authors: Nintzan, Amitai-Preiss;

Umayyad Lead Sealings

Abstract

The following article will deal with Islamic sealings from Umayyad jund al- Urdunn and jund Filasṭīn. A few things have to be said as we start. The Umayyad period stretches from 41-132 H/661-750 C.E. This period is hardly reflected in the historical sources that were written at the earliest some a hundred and fifty to two hundred years after the events, during the ‘Abbasid period. Some sources mentioning the Umayyad period were even written in later periods such as during the Ayyubid or Mamluk periods. These sources were composed in remote provinces such as Iraq or Iran far from south Bilād al-Shām. Thus we find in them hardly any evidence for the historical events of jund Filasṭīn and jund al-Urdunn or hardly any details of the administration of those parts of the Umayyad empire. Many sources have to be checked in order to find some of what had happened, or in order to find some details of the administrative information connected to these parts of the empire. We then have to look for new evidence for the administrative information. Our source is Umayyad sealings. The field of Umayyad lead sealings of Palestine is a relatively new field of research. These were published by the current author in the last few years. They mention names of caliphs1, a name of a governor2, or a place name3, another sort mentions a religious formula.
