The figure of the prophet circulates in all fields of the textual and visual production of premodern Islam. This volume focuses on two aspects of this phenomenon: On the one hand, it investigates the historical transformations of this figure in diverse social and political contexts and genres of Islamic culture. On the other hand, it explores how traits associated with prophets were ascribed to other historical or mythical figures.
