Notes
General Note
Translation of: Baḥth fī nashʼat ʻilm al-tārīkh ʻinda al-ʻArab.
General Note
"This translation omits the second part of the work as it was originally printed: a copious collection of medieval historical texts. In English form the section would not have served its original purpose of exposing the reader to the style, method, and content of the works of various early Islamic scholars. In this edition the translator has provided extensive new references to guide the reader to further discussions in modern scholarship, and has incorporated a number of new observations by the author"--Jacket flap.
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-175) and index.
Description
This is the first translation of a classic work (Bahth fi nnsh' at 'ilm al ta' rikh 'inda l-'Arab) by the eminent Arab historian A. A. Duri. Published in Beirut in 1960, Duri's book was the first comprehensive effort to trace the origins and early development of Arab historical writing, and to resolve some extremely complex and still debated questions about the reliability of the Arabic historical sources.
