Medieval Islamic Historiography (eBook, ePUB)

Remembering Rebellion

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a comparative analysis of the medieval Sunni historiography of the caliphate of Uthman b. Affan and the revolt against him. By comparing treatments of Uthman in pietistic literature and universal chronicles, the work traces the gradual silencing of more critical accounts in favor of those that portray Uthman as a saintly companion of the Prophet Muhammad.
