Yasmin Amin, Exeter University, in: Al-Abhath 64 (2016) ""... the work of Armstrong remains an important contribution that brought serious clarifications to our shortcomings in this field and represents a solid bedrock upon which historians can build on in the future."" Mohammad A. Rihan, University of Balamand, Balamand Al Kurah-Lebanon, in: Ilahiyat Studies 9/1 (2018) ""Armstrong's study is thorough and well-researched and provides opportunities for more in-depth research to fill in the inevitable gaps now revealed. While a clear picture of the quṣṣāṣ and their significance in early Islam remains elusive, Armstrong's work is an impressive contribution to our understanding of this important element of the early Islamic scholarly community."" - Steven C.
