Abstract

Meir M. Bravmann (New York) In the introduction to my study "On the spiritual background of early Islam and the history of its principal concepts" (published in the Hebrew quarterly Tarbiz (Tarbls), v. 18 (1947), p. 65--88, and in an English version in Le Museon, t. 64 (1951), p. 317--356) I expressed my intention to undertake, as a sequel to that study, an investigation of the psychological and ideological foundations of Arab life in the pre-Islamic era and to examine how a they are reflected in the ideas and trends of the period of early Islam. Circumstances prevent me, for the time being, from publishing this study in its entirety. I am limiting myself here to the clarification of a few characteristic ideas. I had to omit some relevant material and a number of explanatory remarks on the passages quoted, as well as refrain from treating some questions of detail. I hope to submit this material in a later publication on the problem. A. The Concept of 'Amr and the Drive to Manly Activities. The first line of the well-known poem (Ibn Hisäm's Slra, ed.
