Recenzje

"Like dear members of a dispersed tribe gathered again; like precious stray camels rounded up; like scattered lustrous pearls strung at last: here, in this treasure trove, are brought together many matchless studies, the opera minora of a major scholar, Wolfhart Heinrichs, whose learning is as deep as it is wide, ranging from Arabic poetics, poetry, and poets to Muslim jurisprudence and Semitic linguistics."

Geert Jan, retired Laudian Professor of Arabic, Oxford University.

"With these seminal and incisive articles, Wolfhart Heinrichs played a major role in the late twentieth century renaissance in the study of classical Arabic poetry and poetics. They showcase his mastery of the Arabic literary critical tradition, his command of the rhetoric and architectonics of the qasida, and his keen sense of aesthetics. Heinrichs reminds us that Arabic poetry and poetics did not exist in an intellectual vacuum but were coterminous and contiguous with trends and development in disciplines such as law and theology."

James E. Montgomery, Sir Thomas Adams´s Professor of Arabic, Cambridge University.
