It is impossible, using critical methods, to write a historical biography of Muhammad, as the sources on him are late, contradictory, full of approximations and errors, and theologically and politically biased.
Notes
The manuscript is entitled "L'Arabie occidentale au début du septième siècle". The work, led by Jamel Eddine Bencheikh focuses on the historical and social context of production and reading of the Koran (representations and attitudes in western Arabia in the early seventh century).
