al-musta'rib

One who lives in the land of the Arabs, and adopts the customs of the same.

What is al-musta'rib about?

This is a newsletter for those interested in the Arabic culture and people between the time of Harun al-Rashid and the comming of the Mongols. It ranges geographically from al-andalus and the magrib (modern Spain and Morroco) to samarkand (modern Afghanistan).

Its primary purpose is to share information of any segment of the daily life in this cultural setting. Its secondary purpose is a communication organ for subscribers who are also members of the Society for Creative Anachronism (however, is not an organ of that organization.)

Post no bills. Some unsettling may occur.
