In celebration of the many contributions of Claude Gilliot to Islamic studies, an international group of twenty-one friends and colleagues join together to explore books and written culture in the Muslim world. Divided into three sections – authors, genres and traditions – the essays explore themes that have been of central interest and concern to Gilliot himself including the Qurʾān, tafsīr, ḥadīth, poetry, and mysticism. Gilliot’s detailed and extensive work on many authors and texts, literary genres, and specific case-studies on many Muslim traditions renders this volume an apt tribute to him as well as offering Islamic studies’ scholars valuable research insights on these subjects. The authors of these English, French and German essays are all renowned scholars from Europe and North America, each of whom have benefitted substantially from Gilliot’s work and collegiality.

“Attention-grabbing and compelling in its variety of the issues studied, undeniably provoking in its dealing of old issues from within a modern perspective, this is a book that helps improve our understanding of vital issues concerning not only the three major religions, but the process itself of cultural development and the impact and interaction books and written culture have been having over people.”
Stavros Nikolaidis, in: Journal of Oriental and African Studies 24 (2015) 491-494.

"... there are two reasons why this volume is significant. First, it is a celebration of a major 'islamologue' of our times and demonstrates the model of his work being articulated. Second, hidden away in this volume are some really interesting works that will be engaging for specialists who might not necessarily pick it up." - Sajjad Rizvi, University of Exeter, in: Al-Abhath 62-63 (2014-2015)
