In this second collection of his articles, Professor Kister has
continued his investigation into the social and religious history
of Arabia. The papers are based essentially on a study of the
traditions preserved in the early Arabic sources, many unpublished.
As the author demonstrates, these sources represent an invaluable
mine of information on the history and religious life of
pre-Islamic Arabia and on the transformations that affected
customs, law and beliefs after the coming of Islam. Particular
articles also deal with such questions as the relations and
confrontation between nascent Islam and Judaism and Christianity,
the contacts between tribal society and sedentary population, and
the emergence of new popular customs and beliefs. Dans ce second
receuil d'articles, le professeur Kister, poursuit ses recherches
sur l'histoire sociale et religieuse de l'Arabie. Les essais sont
essentiellement bases sur une etude des traditions conservees par
les premieres sources arabes, dont beaucoup n'ont jamais ete
publiees. Ainsi que l'auteur le demontre, ces sources representent
une mine d'information inestimable sur la vie religieuse et
l'histoire de l'Arabie pre-islamique et sur les changements qui
affecterent coutumes,lois et croyances apres l'avenement de
l'Islam. Certains articles , traitent plus particulierement, de
sujets, tels les rapports et les affrontements entre la force
naissante de l'Islam et le JudaA-sme et Christianisme
pre-existants; ou encore des contacts entre societe tribale et
population sedentaire, ainsi que de l'emergence de nouvelles
coutumes et croyances poulaires.
