-The decision to proceed to the production of an English version of
Goldziher's unrivalled Muhammedanische Studien... deserves the
applause of those engaged in all branches of Arabic and Islamic
studies. The first volume is here presented in a neat,
well-produced book of attractive format. The translators have
achieved a pleasant, highly readable version in a simple,
efficient, and unpretentious style.- --J. Burton, Bulletin of the
School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London -The
work is a classic of Western Islamic scholarship, and is rendered
even more valuable by Dr. Stern's editorial contribution.- --Leon
