Seller's Description:
GOOD. 12mo, sewn binding in Black cloth-effect paper over boards. Ex-libris Joel Kraemer, noted University of Chicago scholar of medieval Islam and Judaism, with his signature to FFEP. With a press photo of Patricia Crone from the Israel Sun, a Tel-Aviv newspaper. Kraemer's scant penciling, mainly marginal checks and occasional neat underlining, foxing to top edge, small coffee stain to p. 116 and adjacents; Sound and square otherwise with tight binding. Crone & Cook's long out-of-print religionsgeschichte was a seminal contribution to Islamic Historiography, appropriating for Islamic origins a scholarly approach that had long been used to explore the antecedents and adjacencies of Jewish and Christian beginnings. In spite of its controversial theses questioning the reliability of Islamic accounts of their own history--some of which were walked back by the authors--it remains a valuable and sought-after book, one which birthed the 'Revisionist School' of Islamic studies.
