Short comments on sources for the history of Oman, i.e. Omani Siyar works, written by contemporary Omani politicians or scholars (such as Sīrat al-Bisyānī); the Nasab sources which deal with the history of Oman in a genealogical framework (such as al-ʿAwtabī’s Ansāb al-ʿArab); and the local chronicles which deal with the history of Oman in chronological order (such as al-Izkawī’s Kashf al-Ghumma). Of the first category the following works are mentioned: the Sīra of Shabīb b. ʿAṭiyya al-ʿUmānī; the Sīra of Abī ‘l-Mu’thir al-Ṣalt b. Khamīs al-Kharūṣī: K. al-Aḥdāth wa’l-Ṣifāt; the Sīra of Abū ‘l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Bisyānī: al-Ḥujja ʿalà man abṭala al-Su’āl fī ‘l-Ḥadath al-wāqiʿ bi-ʿUmān; the Sīra of Aḥm. b. ʿAbdl. al-Riqayshī al-Izkawī: Miṣbāḥ al-Ẓalām. Of the second category, the Nasab works: Abū ‘l-Mundhir Salma b. Muslim al-ʿAwtabī al-Ṣuḥārī: K. Ansāb al-ʿArab. And of the local chronicles: Sirḥān b. Saʿīd al-Izkawī: Kashf al-Ghumma al-jāmiʿ li-Akhbār al-Umma; Ibn al-Ruzayq: al-Fatḥ al-Mubīn fī Sīrat al-Sāda al-Būsaʿīdiyyīn; ʿAbdl. b. Ḥumayyid al-Sālimī: Tuḥfat al-Aʿyān bi-Sīrat Ahl ʿUmān.

The author has attempted to provide a critical evaluation of these sources and to provide background information on Omani society and tribal structure. Ubaydli 1995b, 159: intended to introduce the large body of Ibāḍī material recently discovered or published in Oman, using classical Arabic sources along with this material to study the early history of the sect.
