The Futuh al-Sham (The Conquests of Greater Syria), usually
attributed to Abu Isma'il Muhammad b. 'Abdallah al-Azdi al-Basri,
is one of the primary sources used for historians studying the
early Muslim expansion into Greater Syria. This study revaluates
the Futuh al-Sham narrative and the question of its
compiler-author, investigating the history of the narrative as text
through an analysis of a new manuscript and important parallel
texts, and revisiting the evidence and hypotheses previous scholars
have put forward on both al-Azdi's life and the Futuh al-Sham
narrative's text. It thus offers an overview of the history of
Oriental and Islamic Studies on the basis of one work.
