Daniel VariscoAmerican Institute for Yemeni Studies Near Eastern Studies and Anthropology Statement: The goal of this IAS fellowship is to complete a monograph entitled Arabia Viridis: Agriculture in Ayyubid and Rasulid Yemen (13th-15th centuries CE). The Rasulid era in Yemen coincides with the early Mamluk period in Egypt, although it has received far less attention by historians. My volume will provide a comprehensive documentation of the information available in a wide range of Rasulid era sources on Yemen’s agricultural systems, crops, and the social, economic and political aspects of production and distribution in these systems.
