Watching the taxman? Oversight and fiscal accountability in Khurasan seen through one document in the Bamiyan Papers
- Abstract:
- Who does watch the taxman? As a research project interested in Khurasan, the Invisible East team examined documents belonging to a 12th-century warehouse manager charged with collecting grain taxes on behalf of the state in Bamiyan, and found some tentative answers in one document: NLI, Ms.Heb.8333.44 (Figure 2).3 The document is preserved amongst the Bamiyan Papers (aka “Afghan Geniza”) purchased by the National Library of Israel (NLI) in 2016.
