Reviews

'The book's main strengths lie in El-Hibri's facility with the narrative material and the thematic topics he chooses to address. That he has spent a career teaching and researching Abbasid history and historiography is evident, and there are numerous thought-provoking observations and asides that reflect this knowledge and experience.' Andrew Marsham, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies 'Written in a lucid and eloquent style, the study is a product of a career of profound thinking about both the vast literary context of Boccaccio's vernacular masterpiece and the novellas themselves. ... Holmes's book is a pathbreaking and major contribution to Boccaccio studies.' Brenda Deen Schildgen, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies
