| Abstract
|
:
|
The central thesis of this dissertation is that the anti-Islamic literature of Christians living under Muslim rule generally drew on the contemporaneous Muslim Tradition and seldom stemmed, contrary to what has often been claimed, from their ignorance or misunderstanding of Islam. The first chapter demonstrates the validity of this thesis when applied to Christian narratives of Muhammad's death recorded in the ninth century—narratives that scholars have for centuries regarded as examples of the malicious inventiveness of Christian polemicists.
