السيرة النبوية في كتابات المستشرقين

Arslan reviews Émile Dermenghem's Life of Muhammad, a French study. He discusses the book's treatment of the first revelation, of hadith and its transmission, of the crucifixion and how Islam and Christianity differ on Jesus, and of the compilation of the Qur'an. He also reports a European historian's classification of Arab biographers by reliability. He finds Dermenghem fair but disagrees with him on several points. The entry describes Arslan's reading of another author, not a judgement on the Prophet's life.
