The NabhÄnÄ« State first appeared in Oman in the 6th/12th century and lasted till the 11th/17th century. During this period the fall of Baghdad, which occurred in 656/1258, led to a number of radical political and cultural changes in the Gulf region, and the aim of the present study is to re-evaluate the conclusions of the (2002) study against a wider background. In doing so it will firstly re-evaluate the original and modern sources dealing with that period. Secondly, it will take a broader look at the political and regional situation at that time and its impact on the course of Omanâs historical development â in other words, it will consider Omani history within a regional context. Thirdly, it will look for the roots of that state and relate it more accurately to Omanâs historical chronology and regional context.
