Additional Reading
H.St.J.B. Philby, Harun al-Rashid (1933), is a popular work of limited merit. More scholarly is Nabia Abbott, Two Queens of Baghdad (1946), describing the political roles of Hārūn’s mother and his wife Zubaydah. The fullest account in general histories is that by P.K. Hitti in his History of the Arabs, 8th ed. (1964).
