This page consists of a translation of the material about the Prophet Mohammed, taken from the second edition of Carl Brockelmann's Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur (1941), vol. 1. Unfortunately this refers back to the volumes of supplements to the first edition. I have therefore translated these sections where necessary. In many cases the two entries cannot be merged, and so appear here as duplicates.
Brockelmann abbreviates rather too aggressively, and I have expanded some of his abbreviations where I could work out what they were. 'K' for instance means "Cairo", and generally precedes the number of a manuscript. But in other cases I have been baffled, and forced to leave the entries as they are.
Much of the literature listed can be found online. I have added a section of material of that kind which I have been able to find.
Notes by me
are in square brackets []. I have not always been able to decrypt the
German - these bits are left in the original, with yellow background.

Abu `Al. M. b. Ishāq b. Yasār was the grandson of an Iraqi, who along with others of his country was held in custody by the Persian king as a hostage in Nuqaira near `Ain at-Tamr, after the fall of the town in 12 AH was taken to Medina as a slave and freed by the family of Qais b. Mahrama. He was born around 85/704 and devoted himself to the study of the tradition, which he completed in Egypt in 115 AH/ 733 AD. Returning hime, he completed his biography of Mohammed, which is therefore based entirely on the tradition of Medina. This drew upon him the enmity of Mālik b. Anas, who suspected him of Shi-ite and Qadarite opinions. In consequence he was forced to emigrate from Iraq in 132 / 749. In al-Hāšimīya he gave the caliph al-Mansur a copy of his work (1), and then, according to Raiy and Hess (?), addressed himself to the crown prince al-Mahdi, and finally settled in Baghdad, where he died in 150 or 151/767 or 768.
[1]. The statement of al-Khatib vol. 1, 221, 3, that he wrote his work on behalf of the caliph for the crown prince al-Mahdi, and later abbreviated it, is probably a legend. The recension referred to, by Salama b. Fadl, comes from Raiy. See Fück, p.33. n. 49.

1. k. al-Mubtada' (al-mabda') waqisas al-atibiya' (see al-Halabi Sīra II 235). b. Hišām put to one side the material up to the immediate ancestor of the Prophet Ibrahim, but Tabari has given large extracts from it in his Chronicle and his Tafsīr, as have al- Azraqī (see p. 137) and al-Muṭahhar b. Tāhir (Ps. Balkhī ed. Huart) (1).
(1) Also based on M. b. I. was the history of Mecca, cited by as-Sarrāğ, al-Luma` 22, 12.
On 1. k. al-Mubtada' (Mabda') see al-Maqrīzī, Khitat, vol. II, p. 79, pu (Salomo as inventor of bathing).
2. k. Sirat rasul allāh wal-mağāzi (k. al-mab`at wal-mağazī), which, apart from the recension of b. Hišam, is mainly known to us through extracts in Tabari. The recension of Yunus b. Bukair (d. 199/814) is found in Fas, Qar. 727 (2).
2. This is probably also the source for the recent report by A. Amīn, Duha `l-islām II, 330, that an exemplar of b. Ishāq has be discovered in the Mağrib. An unknown recension is cited by al-Māwardī, al-Āhkam as-sulṭānīya (ed. Enger) 65, 1 as a history Mushaf al-mağāzī, which is much abbreviated in b. Hišām 677; likewise 65/6 more detailed in b. Hiš. 561, 67/8 more detailed than b. H. 841.

[This entry is from Brockelmann's supplement vol. 1, p.207]
3a. Abu Ma`shar Nāğih b. `Ar. as-Sindī was born in Yemen, probably of Indian origin, as his defective use of Arabic indicates. During the uprising of Yezīd b. al-Muhallab he was taken prisoner and became a slave in the possession of Makhzūmitin Umm Mūsā bint al-Maisūr, who later set him free. He then lived in Medina and in 160/776 was summoned to Baghdad by al-Mahdī; there he died in 170/786.

His k. al-Mağāzī is only known to us from quotations in al-Wāqidī and b. Sa`d; Tabarī also refers to him for biblical history and for reckoning dates, even in his own time, because the tradition of the Hiğäz given by him was more reliable at this point than that of Iraq.
4. Abū `Al. M. b. `O. al-Wāqidī, born 130/ 747 in Medīna, was instrumental in a grain trading concern, but through mismanagement he got into such debt that he had to leave the town. In Baghdad, where he arrived in 180/796, the Vizier Ya. b. Ḥālid al-Barmakī gave him the means to settle his affairs, and entrusted him with the office of Qādī over the east side of the town. Al-Ma'mūn then placed him in the same capacity in the part of the town known as `Askar al-Mahdī, later ar-Ruṣāfa, where after 4 years he died on 11. Du '1-Ḥ. 207/28.4.823.

[1]. According to at-Tūsī, Fihrist 23, some Shiites claim that the real author of the work was Ibr. b. M. b. a. Ya. a. Ishāq al-Madanī, who died 184/800 or 191/806, whose work was appropriated by al-Waqidi.

Abū `Al. M. b. `O. al-Wāqidi came to Baghdad in 180/796, and became Kadi in the east side of the city and by al-Ma'mūn was made `Askar al-Mahdī (d. i. ar- Ruṣāfa). He renounced his Shi'ite sentiments, according to Taqīya (see Goldziher, ZDMG 60, 221) in his works (see Horovitz, zu Ibn Saad II, 1, 127, 15).
