| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to examine the art of administrative documents in the Abbasid period, and to investigate the culture and codes of behavior among the governmental bureaucrats, mainly through their literary works and documents which are extant as collected works. In the course of this study, I discussed some aspects of cultural and social changes in the Abbasid society, such as use of paper and the glowing political role of slaves, and its effect to the activities of bureaucrats.
