The Shia in Iraqi Heresiography - The Structure and Transmission of the Material up to al-Ashari (d.324/935)

This book addresses the presentation of the Shia in the extant theological-doxographical literature of Iraq up to the early fourth century of Islam. Understanding doxographies primarily as textual products of third-century kalam circles, it provides historians with a more thorough account of the likely provenance and transmission of this important body of source material, as well as of the particular images of the early Shia it constructs.
