Rezensionen

'For those interested in the rise and early development of Islam, Michael Lecker's work has long been essential reading, and it is therefore particularly useful to have collected in one volume all of his articles from the years 1985-97...the vast array of sources deployed by Lecker and the meticulous manner in which he handles them ensures that his studies offer insights for all Islamicists.' Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Vol. 63, No. 1 'Lecker's indefatigable attention to detail and focus on otherwise overlooked aspects of pre-and early Islamic Arabia are well illustrated in this collection of eighteen articles....' Religious Studies Review, Vol. 26, No. 1 '... this book is a testament to Lecker's obvious love of accuracy and his ability to collate and present often highly complicated data in a clear and comprehensible manner...'
