The present work – Arabs Recount Arabia Before Islam – is conceived as a little step toward a synthesis of epigraphic and historical data and a revision of the sources of Arab Islamic Tradition. In this First Part, a brief critical study of selected traditional and classical Arabic sources on a given subject (Himyar Dynasty) is put side by side with some short tales, both in Arabic original and English translation, as examples of how the Tradition itself recorded and re-narrated events and characters of Pre-Islamic Arabian history.

Abstract

The present work – Arabs Recount Arabia Before Islam – is conceived as a little step toward a synthesis of epigraphic and historical data and a revision of the sources of Arab Islamic Tradition. In this First Part, a brief critical study of selected traditional and classical Arabic sources on a given subject (Himyar Dynasty) is put side by side with some short tales, both in Arabic original and English translation, as examples of how the Tradition itself recorded and re-narrated events and characters of Pre-Islamic Arabian history.
