Books by Gregor (University of Basel Schoeler

Examines the nature and authenticity of the historical sources for the life of Mohammad. This book explores both the aural and written traditions and analyses the reliability of the transmission process via which the story of Mohammad's life has been portrayed.

Made up of a number of articles translated in English, this book gives a comprehensive overflow of how the written and the spoken interacted, diverged, and received cultural articulation among the Muslim societies of the first two centuries of the Hijra.
