Synopsis

Excerpt from The Early Development of Mohammedanism: Lectures Delivered in the University of London, May and June 1913 The following lectures were delivered in the months of May and June 1913, in the University of London, at the request of the Hibbert Trustees, to whom the writer wishes at the outset to express his cordial thanks, both for selecting the subject of Mohammedanism and committing the treatment of it to him. Professor Goldziher in his Lectures on Islam has provided guidance for all who wish to handle this theme; the topic chosen by the present writer might be called "the supplementing of the Koran," i.e. the process whereby the ex tempore, or indeed ex momento, utterances thrown together in that volume were worked into a fabric which has marvellously resisted the ravages of time. The materials employed for these lectures are to a small extent unpublished MSS., but in the main recently published works of early Islamic authors.
