The Early Development of Mohammedanism; Lectures Delivered in the University of London, May and June 1913 - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
The following lectures were delivered in the months of May and June 1913, in the University of London, at the request of the Hibbert Trustees, to whom the writer wishes at the outset to express his cordial thanks, both for selecting the subject of Mohammedanism and committing the treatment of it to him. Professor Goldziher in his Lectures on I slam has provided guidance for all who wish to handle this theme ;the topic chosen by the present writer might be called the supplementing of the Koran, i.e. the process whereby the ex tempore, or indeed eoo momento, utterances thrown together in that volume were worked into a fabric which has marvellously resisted the ravages of time. The materials employed for these lectures are to a small extent unpublished MSS., but in the main recently published works of early Islamic authors. Of three among the most eminent of these the writer is simultaneously publishing for the first time Vorlesungen liher den I slam, Heidelberg, 1910. 2T he chief of these are the works of Muhasibi, employed in Lecture V.; theM arvakif of Niffari, from which select translations are given in Lecture VI.; and the monograph of I bn A sikir on A bu l-H asan al-A sh ari, which has been used forL ecture VII.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
