Excerpts from a Lost Seventh-Century Greek Source -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index. 520 $a "The first anthology to compile the most significant non-Islamic sources for understanding the rise of Islam. Early Islam has emerged as a lively site of historical investigation, and scholars have challenged the traditions of both Islam and its academic study by drawing attention to the wealth of non-Islamic sources that describe its rise. A Prophet Has Appeared brings this approach to the classroom. The collection provides students with carefully selected, introduced, and annotated materials from non-Islamic records dating to the early years of Islam, which students and scholars can read alongside the Qur'an and later Islamic materials. Applying historical-critical analysis, the volume aims to place these invaluable sources on more equal footing with the much later Islamic narratives about Muhammad and the formation of his new religious movement. The sourcebook includes new English translations of twenty different authors or sources. Initially written in many languages-not just Greek and Latin, but Syriac, Georgian, Armenian, Hebrew, and Arabic-these texts span a broad geographic expanse from England to Egypt and Iran. Ideal for the classroom and personal library, readers will gain the tools to meaningfully approach a new, burgeoning area of Islamic studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Islam $x Origin. 650 0 $a Islam $x History $y To 1500 $v Sources. 650 0 $a Islam $x History $x Christianity $x History $y To 1500 $v Sources. 650 0 $a Christianity and other religions $x History $x History $y To 1500 $v Sources. 650 0 $a Judaism $x History $x Islam $x History $y To 1500 $v Sources. 650 0 $a Islam $x History $x Judaism $x History $y To 1500 $v Sources. 650 7 $a Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859599 650 7 $a Interfaith relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353343 650 7 $a Islam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979776 650 7 $a Islam $x Origin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979818 650 7 $a Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984280 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423900 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shoemaker, Stephen J, 1968- $t A prophet has appeared $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2021] $z 9780520971271 $w (DLC) 2020037018 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3FC3694CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
