This is a survey of Western scholarship up to the 1920's on the Prophet's biography. Dr. Jeffery's so-called "historical Muhammad" is a "pathological" character, totally amoral, and a "robber." This unfortunate article displays hostility towards Islam and its Prophet. -BS

Jones, J.M.B., "Ibn Ishaq and al-Waqidi: The Dream of 'Atika and the Raid to Nakhla in Relation to the Charge of Plagiarism," BSOAS, 22 (1959), pp. 41-51.

The fact that some passages in Ibn Ishaq are often identical to ones in Waqidi may suggest that Waqidi plagiarized the former. The author, however, argues that both Ibn Ishaq and Waqidi drew on a body of Sira literature that had already attained its final form by Ibn Ishaq's time. -BS

---, "Some Isnad-Analytical Methods Illustrated on the Basis of Several Woman-Demeaning Sayings from Hadith Literature," al-Qantara, X (1989), 343-84.

The first part of the paper is a useful tutorial on how to trace traditions in the standard hadith collections and construct their "isnad bundles." The most significant contribution of the paper is a number of observations which are based on isnad-analysis of a large number of traditions. (While these statistical/quantitative observations are stated, they are not documented.) The paper also provides examples of analysis of individual isnad-bundles. The few hadiths chosen for this purpose have matns that relate to women. -BS

---, "al-Mizzi," New Encyclopedia of Islam (M- pp.212-213).

A discussion of the life and works of the famous traditionist, Jamal al-Din al-Mizzi (b. 654/1256). Discusses Mizzi's two major works: 1) The rijal work Tahdhib al-kamal fi asma' al-rijal, and 2) his Tuhfat al-ashraf bi-ma'rifat al-atraf. The second work is of great utility for analysis of the isnads of hadiths. The author provides useful hints on how to use this book along with the other available indexes to trace traditions and construct the isnads through which they were transmitted. -BS
