This volume brings together studies that explore the richness of
the Arabic literary tradition and of Islamic intellectual life,
from the beginnings of Islam to the present. The contributors cover
an unusually wide range of subjects, including such topics as guile
in the Quran, marriage in Islamic law, early esoterica,
commentaries on al-Hariri's Maqamat, Hellenistic philosophy in
Arabic, medieval music and song, scurrilous poetry, Arabic
rhetoric, cursing, the modern social and legal history of the
Middle East, al-Kharrat's modernist project, and contemporary
Islamic thought and responses to it. The volume's range reflects
the enormous breadth of Everett Rowson's scholarship and his impact
over a lifetime of publishing, editing, teaching, and mentoring in
the many fields that constitute the Arabic humanities and Islamic
thought. Contributors: Ali Humayun Akhtar, Thomas Bauer, Hans
