Books by Michael Lecker

Muslims, Jews and Pagans examines in much detail the available source material on the 'Aliya area south of Medina on the eve of Islam and at the time of the Prophet Muhammad.

The articles in this volume provide a background to the study of pre- and early Islamic history. The studies are based on a wide range of sources, but often focus on illuminating particular accounts which are analyzed and placed in their historical context.
