Excerpt from The Heterodoxies of the Shiites According to Ibn Hazm
The present treatise was originally published in the Journal of the American Oriental Society. It consists of two parts, the first (covering 80 pages) and the second (covering 183 pages) having appeared respectively in vol. xxviii. and in vol. xxix. of the above-named Journal. Of the first part, pp. 1-28 contain the Introduction, pp. 28-80 the translation of Ibn Hazm's texts, with the critical apparatus in the shape of footnotes. Of the second part, pp. 1-6 record the sources used in this treatise; pp. 6-136 contain a running commentary on the texts translated in Part I.: pp. 138-159 deal with the term Rawafid; p. 160 gives a genealogical list of the Alids mentioned in the treatise; pp. 161-183 are occupied by indexes.
Some remarks of a prefatory nature will be found in Part I. on pp. 23-28 and in Part II. on p. 1 f. and on p.6.
Lastly, I beg to acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor Torrey and Professor Jewett for the patient and considerate manner in which they discharged their wearisome editorial duties in connection with this treatise.
