CHAPTER X.
MAHOMET AND ISLAM.
I. MUSLIM WORKS.
The Koran. Of the English translations the best are those of Rodwell (1861) and
Palmer (1880). Of the innumerable Arabic Commentaries on the Korau the
most important is that of Tabari (who died A. n. 923), printed at Cairo in
1901-3.
The Biography of the Prophet by Ibn Ishak (+a. d. 768) in the recension of Ibn
Hisham (+a. d. 834), edited by Wiistenfeld. (Gottingen. 1858-60. ) Of this
work there is a very inaccurate and misleading German translation by Weil
(1864).
The Book of the Prophet's Campaigns by Wakidi (t a. d. 823). The first part of
this book (about a third of the whole) was edited by A. von Kremer. Calcutta.
1856. The rest of the Arabic text is still unpublished, but there is an
abridged German translation by Wellhausen, entitled Muhammed in Medina.
Berlin. 1882.
The Biography of the Prophet by Ibn Sa'ad (t a. d. 845). The earlier portion of this
book has been edited by Mittwoch, E. 1905, and by Horovitz, J. 1909,
as part of a series entitled Ibn Sa'ad, Biographien Muhammeds, seiner Gefahrte
und der spateren Trager des Islams. [General editor, E. Sachau. ] Leyden.
1904 ff. Another portion has been edited, with a German translation, by
Wellhausen in his Skizzen und Vorarbeiten, Part IV [see below\
The Annals of Tabari (the author of the above-mentioned Commentary on the
Koran), edited by De Goeje and others. Leyden. 1879-1901. A great part of
Tabari's account of the Prophet is taken verbatim from Ibn Ishak.
Among the numerous collections of Traditions the following are the most important:
(a) The Sahlh of Bukhari (+A. n. 870), edited by Krehl and Juynboll
(Leyden. 1861-1908).
(ft) The Sahlh of Muslim (+ a. d. 875).
(c) The Musnad of Ibn Hanbal (t A. n. 855).
The Usd-al-Ghaba of Ibn al-Athir (tA. D. 1234) and the Isaba of Ibn Pajar
(tA. n. 1449), two Biographical Dictionaries containing accounts of the Pro-
phet's contemporaries arranged in alphabetical order.
II. EUROPEAN WORKS.
Those accounts of Mahomet and Islam which were published in Europe
before the beginning of the 19th century are now to be regarded simply as literary
curiosities. Even if the writers had been strictly impartial—which was seldom
the case—the nature of the materials which lay within their reach would have
placed them at a great disadvantage. An edition of the Koran, with a Latin
translation and a copious "refutation" by Luigi Maracci, appeared at Padua in
## p. 759 (#791) ############################################
Bibliography 759
1698, but the works of the earlier Muslim commentators and historians, without
which the Koran could not be rationally interpreted, remained unknown in Europe
for more than a century later. The principal sources whence Gibbon and other
European writers drew their information on this subject were the following:
(1) A brief historical summary composed by the Christian ecclesiastic Gregory
Barhebraeus, also called Abu-1-Faraj or Abul-pharagius (tA. o. 1286): (2) another
summary by the Muslim annalist Abu-1-Fida (+ a. d. 1331): (3) a historical romance
of uncertain date falsely ascribed to the historian Wakidi.
The older authorities, long neglected and sometimes wholly forgotten by
Muslims, have during the last three generations been gradually brought to light
by European Arabists. Moreover, researches in other departments, particularly
Jewish and Christian Oriental literature, have elucidated certain details which even
the best Muslim authorities leave unexplained or explain wrongly. Of the works
which embody these results the following are the most important.
