¿Abd al-¿Az¿z b. Marw¿n (d. 86/705), brother of the famed state-building caliph, ¿Abd al-Malik b.

The combination of his early death, the limited treatment of Egypt in the early Arabic historical sources, and the illustrious history of ¿Abd al-Malik have left ¿Abd al-¿Az¿z a largely unknown figure in western scholarship. This study seeks to revive the career of this largely forgotten am¿r and demonstrate the critical role he played in the formation of the Marw¿nid dynasty, as well as the great autonomy he exercised within Egypt.
