Résumé

P. 373: the purpose of this paper is to call attention to some aspects of Khārijite history which have been somewhat neglected, and to propose a change in the point of view from which we at present consider the development of Khārijite doctrines. Briefly stated, the thesis maintained will be that our conception of the origin and nature of Khārijitism require revision, not only in the light of certain historical facts and the known geographical spread of Khārijite sects, but also because the inner relation of Khārijite thought to contemporary movements has not been clearly recognized and its true character defined.
