Overview
A Hungarian orientalist of Jewish origin. Zaqzuq describes him as the undisputed leader of Europe's Islamicists, notes that his books still enjoy esteem, and counts him among those who held Islamic law derived from Roman law; he entered the field, per the book, as a European rather than a Jew. These are judgements of the book, attributed to it.
