資料の内容に関する注記In 'Al-Hira: Eine arabische Kulturmetropole im spätantiken Kontext', Isabel Toral-Niehoff draws a vivid portrait of this Late Antique Arab metropolis, located on the frontier between Byzantium and Sasanian Iran. Based on new archaeological and textual evidence, this study documents al-Hira historical impact far beyond its well-known role in literary history and describes its creation of a distinctly Arabic urban cultural symbiosis that drew on neighboring civilizations. Al-Hira's multicultural synthesis is shown to be a direct precursor to the emerging city of Kufa, its Islamicsuccessor, and Islamic city culture at large.
