Abstract

This chapter investigates the application of statistical methodologies to the Arabic genealogical literary tradition. It shows that the child-bearing marriage data in these works appears to be correct, and the trends they reveal can overturn prior assumptions held with regards to the practice of concubinage in the pre-Abbasid period and the status of the offspring of these unions.
