Dreams of Abbasid Caliphs: Suspense and Tragedy in al-abarī’s History of Prophets and Kings
Abstract On the basis of an analysis of three dreams by al-Mahdī, al-Rashīd and al-Amīn it is argued that the dreams in the Tarīkh al-rusul wa-l-mulūk are used to add suspense and tragedy to al-abarī’s presentation of events.
