The emergence of Islam has in recent years become a matter of
heated debate, mainly because Islamic historiography is a
battle-field of contradictory versions of the past. In this second
collection of studies, several of which appear here for the first
time, Michael Lecker distances himself from the clash of theories,
concentrating instead on several basic issues. They all belong to
the preparatory work that still remains to be done on the social
and economic environment in which Islam emerged. The volume
includes the following sections: Arabia on the Eve of Islam;
Muhammad and his Companions; and Arabian Tribes in Pre- and Early
Islamic Arabia. The third section includes much extended and
fully-documented versions of nine Encyclopaedia of Islam articles
dealing with Arabian tribes and tribal society.
