Trade Review
"This multi-authored volume presents an unparalleled account of the advance of Middle Eastern studies in twentieth-century Britain by way of a history of the Gibb Memorial Trust. The committee's trustees have been scholars of Arabic, Persian or Turkish of the first rank and their careers and contributions to the publication programme of the Trust are sketched by current scholars who are of a similar eminence. Taken as a whole the story of the Gibb Memorial Trust is one of stupendous erudition, energy, scholarly rancour and eccentricity." -Robert Irwin, London University
