Think of Middle East and Islamic Studies, and E.J. Brill immediately springs to mind.Founded in 1683 in Leiden—Europe’s leading center for the study of Arabic since the 16th century—Brill has led the field in publishing manuscripts, studies and monumental reference works since its first published Arabic text in 1732. From ground-breaking works such as the Encyclopedia of Islam (now in its third edition), Brill has brought to Western scholarship hundreds of works that undergird the entire fields of Arabic and Oriental Studies.

Today Brill’s Middle East and Islamic Studies lists comprise 130 new books and 25 journals a year. Rigorously edited and produced with the finest materials, a book from Brill—on your own shelf, or your library’s—is the epitome of academic research, writing and presentation.

Muslim-Christian Polemics across the Mediterranean

The Splendid Replies of Shihāb al-Dīn al-Qarāfī (d. 684/1285)

Diego R. Sarrió Cucarella

 

‘We have to thank Diego Sarrió Cucarella for having devoted his academic skill and theological reflexion to the study of al–Aǧwiba l–fāḫira ‘an al–as’ila l–fāǧira. Certainly, “al–Qarāfī’s Splendid Replies is among the most extensive and the most important medieval Muslim refutations of Christianity, and the primary significance of this study is to provide detailed access to its argumentation and intellectual context for the first time in a western language”, the English one'.

-Maurice BORRMANS in Islamochristiana 40 (2014)
