Fot my MA thesis I have to add a historiographical introduction. I have already implementented a segment on my 4 sources with their own historiographical background, but my professor insists that I add a introduction explaining the major characteristics of each tradition. (In what way are Islamic and Christian historiography similair, in what way do they differ, etc.)
I have already consulted various books on the matter such as Robinson's Islamic Historiography but they all examine one side of the matter and don't offer comparisons.
Wait, are you supposed to compare modern scholarship on Islamic versus Christian 12th century, or compare 12th century Christian and Muslim historians' methods?
If you've found individual takes on Christian historiography and on Muslim historiography, doesn't that give you the information to make your own comparisons?
