| |  | | | In Brief
"Jewish scholars," writes Bernard Lewis, "were among the first who attempted to present Islam to European readers as Muslims themselves see it and to stress, to recognize, and indeed sometimes to romanticize the merits and achievements of Muslim civilization in its great days." Lewis's premise is explored in ten studies prepared in honor of his eightieth birthday. Contributors assess the most famous Jewish travelers, writers, and scholars, who led in modern Europe's "discovery" of the Muslim world. From Goldziher to Goitein, studies trace the Jewish fascination with Islam in all its varieties--romantic, assimilationist, liberal, Zionist, Marxist. Published by the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University and distributed by Syracuse University Press.
