Zainab bint Younus (defending polygamy) connects concerns w/men & houris in paradise w/ polygamy on earth. The author argues (among other things) that 1. women should be happy knowing their husband is happy & 2. anti-polygamy attitudes come from modernity's privileging the nuclear family.

not nice to beat up a lady, however.

@duganist I guess it depends when you say modernity begins - but I see your point - the author does argue that polygamy is better for women than a culture with lots of fornication & without stable families.

Interesting defense of polygamy. Argues that ideals of romantic love betw one man & one woman are the product of "Judeo-Christian" culture. Yet there's lots of romantic love ("only you") poetry in pagan antiquity. & probably plenty of ladies who said things like "I'll kill you if you look at another woman."

Brilliant study by S Noble & A Treiger of the 2nd great Greco-Arabic translation movement. In the late 10th cen the Byzantines reconquered Antioch. Over the next 3 cens (incl under Crusader rule) a thriving intellectual culture translated hundreds of works from Greek into Arabic there. So you've heard of 9-10th cen Baghdad, & now you've heard of 10-13th cen Antioch.
