Reviews
Zohar Hadromi-Allouche:
This work is valuable as it emphasizes the benefits of applying a literary approach to historiographical literature that is generally perceived as historical.
This work is valuable as it emphasizes the benefits of applying a literary approach to historiographical literature that is generally perceived as historical.
El-Hibri advances a rich, provocative reading of events following the death of Muhammad and the careers of the first four caliphs.
