IBN ISHAQ [Mahommed ibn Ishaq Abu 'Abdallah] (d. 768)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IBN ISHAQ [Mahommed ibn Ishaq Abu 'Abdallah] (d. 768) , Arabic historian, lived in
Medina
 , where he interested himself to such an extent in the details of the
Prophet
 's
life
  that he was attacked by those to whom his
work
  seemed to have a rationalistic tendency. He consequently left
Medina
  in 733, and went to
Alexandria
 , then to Kufa and
Hira
 , and finally to Bagdad, where the
caliph
  Mansur provided him with the means of writing his
great
 
work
 . This was the
Life
  of the Apostle of God, which is now lost and is known to us only in the recension of Ibn Hisham (q.v.). The work has been attacked by Arabian writers (as in the Fihrist) as untrustworthy, and it seems clear that he introduced forged verses (cf.
Journal
  of the
German
  Oriental Society, xiv. 288 sqq.). It remains, however, one of the most important works of the age. (G. W. T.)
