Quote:"This manuscript, Mat 2639 [henceforth A] was one of the two MSS used by Mihrdatean for his 1851 edition. The other was an older MS, dated to 1568, which has now disappeared. A remains the earliest surviving witness of the History attributed to Sebeos, and from it all other known copies derive"
It's astonishing how many of these old manuscripts about the history of Christianity and Islam conveniently disappeared. :p
I think the best that can be said is that somebody inspired the Arabs to go forth and conquer. We'll never know if Muhammad was his personal name or a title meaning, The Chosen One. It's also impossible to know what he said to inspire them other than it was little to do with Islam as it ended up.
