What I want you to do is to read those pages, and to write a 5-6 page (double spaced, 12 point font, one inch margins) essay in which, using that primary source, develop a short thesis in the introduction about anything that you think was interesting and informative about it, and then set out to prove your thesis through examples from the source and also with occasional references to the secondary sources we have been reading. The footnotes of this translation (written by the translator and are very helpful) can also be used as secondary sources. The thesis should be presented in the form of a question. At the end, give a conclusion in which you sum up your evidence and answer the question you raised in the introduction. You can find a good article on who al-Tabari was in the Encyclopedia of Islam under “al-Tabari”. Read the one by Bosworth. I’ll send it to everyone in a separate email just to be sure. Primary source will be attached
