Reviews

Li Guo hat ein wunderbares Werk uber eine Personlichkeit vorgelegt, die vor allem deshalb so interessant und spannend ist, weil sie uns tief in die Welt der nicht-gelehrten Unterhaltung einer vormodernen nahostlichen Gesellschaft einfuhrt. Stephan Conermann in Sehepunkte. Rezensionsjournal fur die Geschichtswissenschaften 13.4 (2013).


Li Guo hat ein wunderbares Werk uber eine Personlichkeit vorgelegt, die vor allem deshalb so interessant und spannend ist, weil sie uns tief in die Welt der nicht-gelehrten Unterhaltung einer vormodernen nahostlichen Gesellschaft einfuhrt. Stephan Conermann in Sehepunkte. Rezensionsjournal fur die Geschichtswissenschaften 13.4 (2013). [Guo] has solved many knotty problems and managed to convey the spirit of a very intriguing but difficult text. Geert Jan van Gelder in Journal of the American Oriental Society 134.3 (2014), pp. 536-539.
