In Muslim Peoples in Medieval History (1977), Claude Cahen chose to bring together the texts he considers to have been the most significant of his career as an orientalist, which he initiated during the 1930s.This anthology begins with a series of reflections on the profession of historian of the medieval Muslim world and on the method adopted by the latter in the conduct of its work (“Reflections on the knowledge of the Muslim world by historians”, “Editing Arabic chronicles: A few suggestions ”,“ The historiography of the Seljuqid period ”,“ Considerations on the historian's use of Muslim law works ”).Internationally recognized as the leading specialist in the economic and social history of the Islamic Middle Ages, the author also invites us to (re) read articles on his chosen field: "The economic and social history of Medieval Muslim East ”,“ Were there professional corporations in the classical Muslim world? "," Some Problems Concerning Muslim Economic Expansion in the High Middle Ages "," Some Economic and Fiscal Problems of Būyid Iraq "After a Treatise on Mathematics" ... etc.The exhaustive list of his scientific publications and the last pages of the book, which deal with subjects as diverse as nomadism, Persian emigration or the evolution of military techniques, finally testify to the many strings that Claude Cahen had to his bow.
