"All in all, this brief account is rich in the depth of its
analyses and in the authoritative sources cited, both Western and
Arab. . . . It is not likely that this superb work will be
superseded in the near future."

"This reprint of Professor Hourani's elegant monograph forty-five

his original conception and the excellence of its presentation.
Hardly a word seems to need emendation."
