商品簡介
Continues the series reprinting articles and essays that have contributed significantly to the modern study of Islam but are difficult for scholars to find. The 15 studies, some translated into English, were originally published between 1920 and 1995. Among their topics are Ibn Ishaq and al-Waqidi: the dream of Atika and the raid to Nakhla in relation to the charge of plagiarism; the first Muslims in Mecca as a social basis for a new religion; the meetings at al-`Akaba; the growth of the Mohammed legend; Jerusalem in the story of Muhammad's night journey and ascension; and his scripture and message according to the Christian apologies in Arabic and Syriac from the first Abbasid century. They are reproduced from their original publications in a variety of styles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
