Trophies of Damascus was a 7th-century anti-Jewish tract written between 661 and 681 AD which presents an eye-witness accounts to the events that took place around that time period in the Middle East. It categorizes the nascent Saracens (Muslim) tribes as part of an alliance of Jewish clans fighting against the Byzantine Christians in contradiction to later accounts from traditional Islamic sources.
