Is the term "Early Caliphates" a commonly accepted term in historiography? Or is it just an arbitrary construct based on original research? What period is covered by it? Right now it looks like the 7th until the 9th century. Well, how would you count the Abbasid Caliphate? Started in 750, but has existed beyond this 'early' period until 1258.
