Veiling through the Ages Ancient to Abbasid

By Abdul Halim

This establishes a link between conceptions of female virtue and the practice of veiling by women from ancient to medieval times in the Mediterraneanregion. This is evidenced by the consistent advocacy and prescription of veiling in ancient and medieval theological texts, including Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian, and Islamic texts. Veiling practices are shown to have a religious foundation, grounded in the ideas of honor and virtue. These notions were reflected in society over time with veiled aristocratic noblewomen and unveiled marginalized classes
