Arabic Versions of the Pentateuch

A Comparative Study of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Sources

Ronny Vollandt, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich

 

"Vollandt has succeeded admirably in his goal of arguing for the importance and relevance of the Arabic versions in biblical scholarship, and it is hoped that he and others will build on this work by engaging in similar studies of other sections of the Bible. Brill’s recently launched Biblia Arabica series, of which this is the second volume to appear, will serve as an excellent forum for such future efforts".

  - John Kaltner, Rhodes College, Memphis, Tennessee
