It analyses the rhetoric of accounts to highlight whether “peace” relates to the various stages of a major conflict, which was the last revolt of Bashmūr (831 ce). What was meant by peace? Was it theologically driven? How did the Coptic and Syriac partriarchs along with the Abbasid caliph have modeled the process of dialogue, reconciliation or displacement of the population of Bashmūr? The paper shows how the Syriac chronicler Dionysius of Tell Mahre and contemporary church leaders, all of a Christian background, had different responses to the socio-political conflict of their time.
