Trade Review
"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 *
