Models of Leadership in the Adab Narratives of Joseph, David, and Solomon: Lament for the Sacred

By Sami Helewa

The author links the religious Qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ to adab with the intent of showing that these tales reflect an inward look of the two cities of Baghdād and Nīshāpūr as well as the expectations of leadership for the rulers at the time of al-Ṭabarī and al-Thaʿlabī.
