The Book of the Chaste
While this work is attributed to Ish'dnah, the archbishop of Basrah, it is likely to be an abridgement of a much older work. Our original author lived at the end of the 8th century, just subsequent to the Arab conquests. This work sough to bring together the lives of the holy founders of the monasteries that populated the Church of the East. They appear to be largely recent hagiographies of various Syriac figures spanning for the 5th to the 8th century AD, and are all brief in scope, granting limited biographic information. Originally composed in Classical Syriac, the author of this work appears to be exclusively interested in the dealings of the eastern Syriac church under the Sassanians.

The History of al-Tabari Vol. 27
By 735 an Arab empire stretched from Arles and Avignon in southern France to the Indus River and Central Asia, and a vital young civilization fostered by a new world religion was taking root. Yet the Muslim conquerors were divided by tribal quarrels, tensions among new converts, and religious revolts. In 745 a vigorous new successor to the Prophet took control in Damascus and began to restore the waning power of the Umayyad dynasty. Marwan II's attempts were thwarted, however, by revolts on every hand, even among his own relatives.

Sayyar al-Laythi, to his death and were advancing westward. This volume tells of the end of the Umayyad caliphate, the Abbasid Revolution, and the establishment of the new dynasty.

The History of al-Ṭabarī Vol. 2
This volume records the lives and efforts of some of the prophets preceeding the birth of Mohammad. It devotes most of its message to two towering figures--Abraham, the Friend of God, and his great-grandson, Joseph. The story is not, however simply a repetition of Biblical tales in a slightly altered form, for Ṭabarī sees the ancient pre-Islamic Near East as an area in which the histories of three different peoples are acted out, occasionally meeting and intertwining. Thus ancient Iran, Israel, and Arabia serve as the stages on which actors such as Biwarasb, the semi-legendary Iranian king, Noah and his progeny, and the otherwise unknown Arabian prophets Hud and Salih appear and act.
