Medieval Arab historiography is essentially a matter of
compilation. Using the representative corpus of reports on the Zang
uprising, Franz examines the compilation of chronicles in its three
aspects: compiling (as a process of selecting, ordering and
textualising material), compilation (the resultant individual text)
and the process of compilations (as the succession of various
stages in transmission). He develops comprehensive evaluative
criteria and with them creates a basis for clear recognition of the
significance of authorship, individuality of texts, and
disciplinarity for the long neglected compilatory chronicle
tradition. His emphasis on the tension between the kernel of the
historic event and the intertextual redefinition of the subsequent
records opens up a new perspective for the literary and historical
investigation of the primary sources.
