This study deals with the characteristics ot Arabic historiography in Iraq down to the time of Abu Ja'far Tabari (d. 310/923). The historical annals of Tabari provide both the specific focus of the study and a methodological approaoh. Since Tabari's work may be regarded as an anthology of the writings of the early historians, our first question concerns the characteristics of Iraqi historiography as they are reflected in the annals. Then we are concerned with the ways in which Tabari's work differed from his predecessors.
