Still in its infancy because of the overly conservative views and methods assumed by the majority of scholars working in it since the mid-19th century, the field of early Islamic and quranic studies is one in which the very basic questions must nowadays be addressed with decision. Accordingly, this book tries to resituate the Qur'ān at the crossroads of the conversations of old, to which its parabiblical narratives witness, and explores how Muhammad’s image – which was apparently modelled after that of the anonymous prophet repeatedly alluded to in the Qur'ān – originally matched that of other prophets and/or charismatic figures distinctive in the late-antique sectarian milieu out of which Islam gradually emerged. Moreover, it contends that the Quranic Noah narratives provide a first-hand window into the making of Muhammad as an eschatological prophet and further examines their form, content, purpose, and sources as a means of deciphering the scribal and intertextual nature of the Qur'ān as well as the Jewish-Christian background of the messianic controversy that gave birth to the new Arab religion. The previously neglected view that Muhammad was once tentatively thought of as a new Messiah challenges our common understanding of Islam’s origins.

This multidisciplinary collective volume advances the scholarly discussion on the origins of Islam. It simultaneously focuses on three domains: texts, social contexts, and ideological developments relevant for the study of Islam's beginnings -- taking the latter expression in its broadest possible sense. The intersections of these domains need to be examined afresh in order to obtain a clear picture of the concurrent phenomena that collectively enabled both the gradual emergence of a new religious identity and the progressive delimitation of its initially fuzzy boundaries.

A collection of invited chapters dedicated to Carlos Segovia, this unified and self-contained volume examines recent developments in real and harmonic analysis. The work begins with a chronological description of Segovia’s mathematical life, his original ideas and their evolution, which may be a source of inspiration for many mathematicians working in the fields of harmonic analysis, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. Apart from this contribution, two different types of chapters are featured in the work: surveys dealing with Carlos’ favorite topics, and PDE works written by students and colleagues close to Segovia whose careers were in some way influenced by him. Specific topics covered include: * Vector-valued singular integral equations * Harmonic analysis related to Hermite expansions * Gas flow in porous media * Global well-posedness of the KPI Equation * Monge–Ampère type equations and applications * Spaces of homogeneous type * Hardy and Lipschitz spaces * One-sided operators This book will be useful to graduate students as well as pure and applied mathematicians interested in new mathematical developments in areas related to real and harmonic analysis.
