Abstract

THE ARABS IN THE PEACE TREATY OF A.D. 561 BY IRFAN KAWAR IN the history of the Arabs before Islam the sixth century A.D. - is of critical importance 1. After a long period of relative obscurity and marginal existence, the Arabs and their peninsula enter as an important element in the calculations of the two World-Powers, Persia and Byzantium. These calculations made of the Arabian peninsula a focal point of international interest and intrigue, and the scene of military, diplomatic, religious, and commercial transactions, which crowded the century with events both in the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Peninsula, but which fell out eventually to the benefit of the main caravan-city of West Arabia. The elimination of the various contestant groups which were attempting self-expression within the peninsula and the state I. For a recent comprehensive account of sixth century Arabia, see Sidney SMITH, Events in Arabia in the Sixth Century, in BSOAS, XVI, 1954. The introductory part of the present article concentrates on certain out- standing features of the economic and the military aspects of the history of Arabia in that century.
