Revised edition\nAuthor(s): Michael Lecker\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Gerlach Press, Germany\nImprint: Gerlach Press\nISBN-13: 9783959941884, 978-3959941884\nSynopsis\nThis study focuses on Sulaym in the crucial transition period from J?hiliyya to Islam, and hence it contributes to the study of the Prophet and his time. Most of the study concentrates on the Arabian Peninsula, although a few leading families are followed into the Islamic conquests and the early Umayyad period.\nThe focus on one tribe makes it possible to collect a large amount of data from a variety of sources: biographical dictionaries, genealogical literature, geographical literature, s?ra and adab compilations, poetry D?w?ns and Qur?n exegesis. Contains an index, a genealogical chart and a map.\n\nAn earlier version of this work was published by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Press in 1989.
