Reviews

In an age of mass-produced paperbacks, this volume with its beautiful dust jacket, elegant cloth binding and fine paper is also a reminder that the making of good books is a craft, and bearing that in mind the price is actually quite reasonable. It seems that a critical edition of Ibn Baklarish's Kitab al-Muta'ini, announced twice before and overdue, is now being seriously tackled. * Oliver Kahl, Annals of Science * a delightfully well-produced and informative volume. It serves as a paradigm for how such manuscripts should be brought to the attention of both the wider scholarly community and the general public. * Siam Bhayro, Medical History *
