4.9/5 (22904 ratings)

Description:"The Prophet of Islam in Old French" gives the first English translation of the only medieval French narratives that present comprehensive accounts of Muhammad's prophethood: Alexandre du Pont's "Romance of Muhammad" from 1258 and the 1264 translation of a Muslim apocalypse, "The Book of Muhammad's Ladder," The introduction addresses the problems of the romance's divergence from conventional Christian representations of Muhammad's confirmation as prophet and the absence of Christian commentary in the apocalypse. It discusses the traditions regarding Muhammad's prophethood, the conventions of the apocalyptic genre, and the propagandistic aims of both narratives in relation to the crusades and missionary activity at that time. These works are of particular interest because they are the first to present to a French lay audience the topic of Muhammad's prophethood, and scholars have long debated whether the apocalypse influenced Dante's "Divine Comedy,"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
