Divided into three sections – authors, genres and traditions – the essays explore themes that have been of central interest and concern to Gilliot himself including the Qurʾān, tafsīr, ḥadīth, poetry, and mysticism. Gilliot’s detailed and extensive work on many authors and texts, literary genres, and specific case-studies on many Muslim traditions renders this volume an apt tribute to him as well as offering Islamic studies’ scholars valuable research insights on these subjects. The authors of these English, French and German essays are all renowned scholars from Europe and North America, each of whom have benefitted substantially from Gilliot’s work and collegiality.

First, it is a celebration of a major 'islamologue' of our times and demonstrates the model of his work being articulated. Second, hidden away in this volume are some really interesting works that will be engaging for specialists who might not necessarily pick it up.\" - Sajjad Rizvi, University of Exeter, in: Al-Abhath 62-63 (2014-2015)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS  Abbreviations  List of illustrations List of Maps  INTRODUCTION  Francesco Zappa: Professori emerito Claudio Gilliot Latina dedicatio   Roberto Tottoli, Andrew Rippin: Claude Gilliot, a biographical sketch   AUTHORS  Emilio Platti: Criteria for authenticity of prophecy in ʿAbd al-Masīḥ al-Kindī’s Risāla   Michael Lecker: Muḥammad b.
