The influence of classical antiquity on the religious disciplines,
theology, mysticism and law of Islam cannot be overestimated. This
work demonstrates the significance of the classical heritage by
drawing together a great range of literary renderings, paraphrases,
commentaries and imitations, as well as independent Islamic
elaborations. Professor Rosenthal's collection includes the work of
early authors, authors of the Golden Age and later writers who
imitated their works. The Classical Heritage in Islam reveals that
the Muslim adoption of and dependence on classical texts was not
blind imitation or a casual compounding of traditions, but rather
an original synthesis and therefore a unique achievement.
