As a book category, "Umayyad Caliphate" covers works focused on the first hereditary Muslim dynasty (primarily 661–750 CE in the Middle East, with its Iberian branch continuing as the Umayyad polity in al‑Andalus from 756–1031), including political and military history, administration and legal reforms, urbanism and architecture (Damascus, Córdoba), art, numismatics, religious and social change, and interactions with Byzantine, Persian and Iberian societies. It encompasses scholarly monographs, primary-source translations and editions, biographies of key figures (e.g., Muʿāwiya, ʿAbd al‑Malik, al‑Walīd), archaeological reports, historiography, and historical fiction or popular histories set in the period; interdisciplinary works on economy, demography, and cultural exchange also fit. Typical readers include historians, students, archaeologists, and general readers interested in early Islamic governance, empire-building, and the Umayyads’ lasting cultural and political legacy.
