Beskrivning

In this comprehensive volume, readers are invited to explore the foundational narratives of the world from creation up to the significant event of the flood. Al-Tabari, a remarkable historian, intricately weaves together historical accounts and religious texts to provide a vivid portrayal of early human civilization. His analytical approach not only delves into the details of events but also examines the implications these stories have had on subsequent cultures and societies.

Franz Rosenthal’s translation brings clarity and accessibility to this monumental work, making it possible for modern audiences to engage with ancient thought. Through careful interpretation, Rosenthal illuminates the context in which Al-Tabari wrote, reflecting the complex social and political landscapes of his time.

Overall, this volume serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the origins of human history as seen through the lens of Islamic scholarship, setting the stage for the following volumes that continue to unravel the intricate tapestry of historical developments.
