This volume brings together articles on various aspects of the intellectual and social histories of Islamicate societies and of the traditions and contexts that contributed to their formation and evolution. Written by leading scholars who span three generations and who cover such diverse fields as Late Antique Studies, Islamic Studies, Classics, and Jewish Studies, the volume is a testament to the breadth and to the sustained, deep impact of the corpus of the honoree, Professor Patricia Crone.

"Das Buch kommt zur rechten Zeit, denn es setzt Zeichen für die Beschäftigung mit frühislamischer Geschichte, die während der vergangenen vier Jahrzehnte, während Patricia Crones akademischer Tätigkeit und maßgeblich von ihr mitgeprägt, einen Aufschwung erlebt hat, vielleicht durch sie ganz neu ins Leben gerufen ist, wie Chase Robinson in einem abschließenden Kapitel feststellt („Crone and the End of Orientalism“). So ist diese Festschrift, abgesehen vom Wert ihrer Beiträge für sich, ein würdiges Dokument für die Lebensleistung einer der ganz großen Vertreterinnen der Islamwissenschaft im 20. und frühen 21. Jahrhundert." - Lucian Reinfandt, in: Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, Vol. 106 (2016)
