| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation treats Muslim-Zoroastrian relations between the seventh and eleventh centuries. It challenges the lachrymose narrative of Zoroastrian history, which overemphasizes the role of religious violence in precipitating the decline of Zoroastrianism after the Islamic conquest of Iran. This gloomy narrative is a product of Orientalist tropes, polemical historiographies about the treatment of dhimmis and the effect of the Islamic conquest, the apocalyptic tenor of medieval Zoroastrian sources, and concerns about the status of Zoroastrians in modern Iran and India. Scholars of Zoroastrianism and Iranian languages have written most of the secondary literature on this topic, despite the fact that most of the primary sources were written by Muslims in Arabic. Since few Islamicists have studied Muslim-Zoroastrian relations, the lachrymose narrative persists.
