Islamic Empire

Document 1: Yakut: Baghdad under the Abbasids, 1000 CE Yakut had Greek parents but became the slave of an Arab merchant. As a slave, Yakut was

trained to be a commercial traveler. His master sent him to Persia many times. Because of his travels, Yakut developed the skills of a geographer and biographer. When he visited Baghdad, it was the most impressive city in the Islamic Empire. Yakut describes Baghdad at its height of beauty and power.

Yakut: Geographical Encyclopedia: The city of Baghdad formed two vast semi-circles on the right and left banks of the Tigris,

twelve miles in diameter. The numerous suburbs, covered with parks, gardens, villas and beautiful promenades, and plentifully supplied with rich bazaars, and finely built mosques and baths, stretched for a considerable distance on both sides of the river. In the days of its prosperity the population of Baghdad and its suburbs amounted to over two millions! . . . Immense streets, none less than forty cubits wide, traversed the city from one end to the other, dividing it into blocks or quarters, each under the control of an overseer or supervisor, who looked after the cleanliness, sanitation and the comfort of the inhabitants.

…..Every household was plentifully supplied with water at all seasons by the numerous aqueducts which intersected the town; and the streets, gardens and parks were regularly swept and watered, and no refuse was allowed to remain within the walls. . . .

….Both sides of the river were for miles fronted by the palaces, kiosks [newsstands], gardens and parks of the grandees and nobles, marble steps led down to the water's edge, and the scene on the river was animated by thousands of gondolas [row boats], decked with little flags, dancing like sunbeams on the water, and carrying the pleasure-seeking Baghdad citizens from one part of the city to the other. . .

. ..There were also in Baghdad numerous colleges of learning, hospitals, infirmaries for both sexes, and lunatic asylums.
