 r Mir-Djalali Institute of Iranian Studies, University of Toronto, and t
 he Invisible East Programme, the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Stud
 ies, University of Oxford jointly present 'From the Gavbara to Khurshid: 
 The Pahlavi Archive of Tabarestan and the First Century of Islam in Iran' 
 on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, 12 noon (Toronto) / 5 pm (UK). Abstract:
  The history of Iran, the former territories of the Sasanian Empire, aft
 er 637 CE is often told by Islamic sources from the viewpoint of the Calip
 hate, gazing east from Kufa, Damascus, or Baghdad. In these narratives\
 , very little information is transmitted about the history of the central 
 regions of Iran (Sasanian Ērānšahr) after the Battle of Nihawand and prior
  to the rise of the Abbasids. Of these regions, the history of Tabarestan
 , southeast of the Caspian Sea, receives little attention until the so-c
 alled Rebellion of Khurshid in the early 760’s. However, a surprising cac
 he of Pahlavi documents from this region, immediately preceding the reign
  of Ispahbed Khurshid, promise to bring us much new information about thi
 s region in the first Islamic century. Studied alongside local sources suc
 h as the History of Tabarestan of Ibn Isfandiyar and archaeological and nu
 mismatic evidence, this archive serves to shed an unprecedented light on 
 the history of the Iranian world in the post-Sasanian period and help us u
 nderstand both continuities and change in the transition from the Sasanian
  to the Islamic period.Bio:
