This volume brings together articles on various aspects of the intellectual and social
histories of Islamicate societies and of the traditions and contexts that contributed to their
formation and evolution. Written by leading scholars who span three generations and
who cover such diverse fields as Late Antique Studies, Islamic Studies, Classics, and Jewish
Studies, the volume is a testament to the breadth and to the sustained, deep impact of the
corpus of the honoree, Professor Patricia Crone.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Das Buch kommt zur rechten Zeit, denn es setzt Zeichen fuer die Beschaeftigung mit fruehislamischer Geschichte, die waehrend der vergangenen vier Jahrzehnte, waehrend Patricia Crones akademischer Taetigkeit und massgeblich von ihr mitgepraegt, einen Aufschwung erlebt hat, vielleicht durch sie ganz neu ins Leben gerufen ist, wie Chase Robinson in einem abschliessenden Kapitel feststellt ("Crone and the End of Orientalism"). So ist diese Festschrift, abgesehen vom Wert ihrer Beitraege fuer sich, ein wuerdiges Dokument fuer die Lebensleistung einer der ganz grossen Vertreterinnen der Islamwissenschaft im 20. und fruehen 21. Jahrhundert".
