Reviews
As interest in the Ibadiyya continues to grow, the need for reliably edited Ibadi sources increases. Following on their earlier publication of the works of the early Omani Ibadi jurist, theologian and scholar Abu al-Mundhir Bashir b. Muhammad b. Mahbub (Early Ibadi Literature, Weisbaden, 2011) Drs. al-Salimi and Madelung's new preparation of al-Fazari's kalam texts are a welcome addition to the growing library of early Ibadi sources. In addition, such a large collection of early kalam materials illumines in significant ways not only the development of Ibadi thought, but the progression of early Islamic theology in general. It is to be hoped that more scholars will follow in the footsteps of the editors, bringing the truly vast and important corpus of Ibadi texts to ever wider audiences. Adam R. Gaiser, Florida State University
