The Shīʿa in Iraqi Heresiography: The Structure and Transmission of the Material Up to Al-Ashʿarī (D.324/935) (Welten Des Islams - Worlds of Islam - Mondes de l'Islam, #13)

by James Weaver

This book addresses the presentation of the Shi'a in the extant theological-doxographical literature of Iraq up to the early fourth century of Islam. Understanding doxographies primarily as textual products of third-century kalam circles, it provides historians with a more thorough account of the likely provenance and transmission of this important body of source material, as well as of the particular images of the early Shi'a it constructs.
