"Review - German ""Nella chiarezza del suo impianto, nella precisione delle glosse, nell'essenzialita dei contenuti, il volume puo dunque proporsi come un sussidio indispensabile per chiunque (specialista o meno) abbia qualche interesse ad accostare il Corano. Il vantaggio piu immediato dell'opera e quello di offrire un materiale gia selezionato del grande patrimonio arabo, permettendo al compilatore di approfondire da vari punti di vista gli aspetti specifici di lingua e di pensiero contenuti nel grande libro sacro e all'utente una ricerca mirata su di esso.""In: Salesianum. 71 (2009) 2. S. 404.-------------------------------""The length of this review should make it clear that Ambros' dictionary is a major leap forward in Qur'anic studies, a book worthy of detailed discussion, and one that calls for reactions. Going through the dictionary, I had a feeling that something of note had happend, that some advance in the field had been made. And that is a rare feeling.""In: Wiener Zeitschrift fur die Kunde des Morgenlandes. Band 96 (2006). S. 438-444.-------------------------------""Das vorliegende handwerklich sehr sauber gearbeitete Handworterbuch wird sich als nutzliches didaktisches Hilfsmittel fur die orientalistische Ausbildung bewahren, das auch dem Fachmann den erreichten Forschungsstand bequem darbietet, und wird so allen Anspruchen gerecht, die man an ein Handworterbuch stellen kann. Die Anhange sind dazu geeignet, Hilfen und Impulse fur die weitere Erforschung der arabischen Sprache und der koranischen Theologie zu geben.""In: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung. 101 (2006) 3. Sp. 362-364."
