Zusammenfassung:
This volume has its origin in a conference held in honour of a scholar who made a major contribution to the study of the Qurʾan, Patricia Crone. Five of its eight chapters are accordingly devoted to this field. They provide a survey of its development and present state, and offer illustrations of a number of approaches through which scholars seek to investigate the internal history of the text, its relationship to earlier Near Eastern texts, the sources of the ideas advanced or reported in it, and its place in the wider history of Near Eastern religion. The remaining three chapters are concerned with reports of Arabian prophets before the time of Muhammad, Christian, and Muslim attitudes to pagan law, and monotheism in pre-Islamic South Arabia.
