Recenzje

'Nebil Husayn's meticulously researched and lucid book provides a rich and detailed description of the multiple ways in which a figure as central as ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib was variously imagined and re-imagined in early and classical Muslim thought. It is a model of Islamic intellectual and religious history and ought to benefit specialists as well as non-specialists interested in parallel cases, such as that of Paul of Tarsus.' Hadi Qazwini, Shii Studies Review
