Reviews

"Solidly researched and splendidly written."--Comparative Literature "Beautifully written... A fascinating introduction to an area of medieval literacy still replete with nationalistic tensions."--Speculum "Calls for a wider acceptance of the idea that medieval Western culture was influenced more widely by Arabic thought."--Choice "Admirable for breadth of reading and attractive for its uncramped sympathies... A sobering reminder ... of the presence of much racism and chauvinism in literary and cultural history."--Relgion and Literature
