Reinterpreting Islamic Historiography: Harun al-Rashid and the Narrative of the Abbasid Caliphate - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
El-Hibri, Tayeb (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
The author applies an alternative literary-critical reading of the early Islamic sources to demonstrate how medieval narrators devised elusive ways of shedding light on the political, social and religious debates of the 'Abbasid' period. This book represents a landmark in the field of early Islamic historiography.
