Abstract	:	This dissertation examines Ibn Abi Hatim's Taqdimat al-ma'rifa li-Kitab al-Jarh wa-'l-ta'dil and the intellectual milieu in which it was written. The Taqdima is Ibn Abi Hatim's defense of hadith criticism. The impetus for the work's composition was provided by the conflict between the hadith critics and their opponents fought in the religious centers of the Muslim world, including Ibn Abi Hatim's hometown of al-Rayy. "Early Hanbalite" scholars employed hadith criticism in order to authenticate the hadith of the Prophet in a consistent fashion and the methodology of these scholars is discussed in some detail in the dissertation. The Taqdima aims at providing precedents for the use of hadith criticism by showing that certain prestigious personalities from early Muslim history were critics of hadith. The compositional techniques Ibn Abi Hatim employed in writing the Taqdima were common in the works of the critics of hadith and the work's arrangement was based on the critics' understanding of the history of hadith transmission in the early centuries of Islam.
