- Summary:
- "This book fully integrates Jewish legal thought in the medieval Islamic world into its larger environment. Travelling from Baghdad to Cairo and bookending with accounts of medieval Jewish luminaries Saadia Gaon and Moses Maimonides, Herman underscores that medieval Judaism only took the shapes that it did through contact with Islam"-- Provided by publisher.
