| Abstract
|
:
|
‘Abd al-‘Aziz b. Marwan (d. 86/705) reigned as the amir of Egypt and wali al- ‘ahd (heir apparent) to the Islamic caliphate for over 20 years. Appointed to both positions by his father, the amir al-mu’minin (Commander of the Believers) Marwan b. al-.akam (r. 64-65/683-685), ‘Abd al-‘Aziz was the first long-term heir apparent in Islamic history and the last independent amir of Egypt until the coming of A.mad b. Tulun (d. 270/884) in 254/868. Had he not died months before his brother, the famed amir al-mu’minin ‘Abd al-Malik (r. 65-86/685-705), ‘Abd al-‘Aziz would have succeeded as amir al-mu’minin and the Marwanid dynasty (64-132/683-750) would have continued through his line. Instead, the combination of his untimely death, ‘Abd al-Malik’s illustrious career as the victor of the Second Muslim Civil War (60-73/680-692), and the limited treatment of Egypt in the classical Arabic sources have left ‘Abd al-‘Aziz a largely unknown figure.
