The Piety of Learning testifies to the strong links between religious and secular scholarship in Islam, and reaffirms the role of philology for understanding Muslim societies both past and present. Senior scholars discuss Islamic teaching philosophies since the 18th century in Nigeria, Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, Central Asia, Russia, and Germany. Particular attention is paid to the power of Islamic poetry and to networks and practices of the Tijāniyya, Rifā‘iyya, Khalwatiyya, Naqshbandiyya, and Shādhiliyya Sufi brotherhoods. The final section highlights some unusual European encounters with Islam, and features a German Pietist who traveled through the Ottoman Empire, a Habsburg officer who converted to Islam in Bosnia, a Dutch colonial Islamologist who befriended a Salafi from Jeddah, and a Soviet historian who preserved Islamic manuscripts.

"Piety of Learning, a tribute to the work and thought of Stefan Reichmuth... By focusing on the process of learning production in Islam, which remains an extremely interesting field of research, the book contributors manage at the same time to explore the historical, social, religious and political features of Islamic scholarship and teaching and to explicitly exhibit Reichmuth’s central role in modern academic Islamic research." - Sotiris S. Livas, in: Journal of Oriental and African Studies 28 (2019)
