Talk by Bernard Lewis
Professor of the History of the Near and Middle East, University of London Biography seeks to distinguish between history and legend, whereas hagiography is influenced by accepted creeds and by the evolution of religious doctrines. Professor Lewis compares The Life of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq (recently translated by Alfred Guillaume ) with earlier attempts made to discover the historical identity of the last founder of one of the world's great religions.
