Editorial Reviews
Frank Rosenthal, American Historical Review
"Reflects the author's remarkable scholarship, human empathy, and psychological understanding. It thus constitutes a significant contribution to our knowledge of the private and communal life of medieval Near Eastern Jews as well as of Christians and Muslims with whom they lived in the closest proximity."

Howard Sachar, American Scholar
"Goitein's achievement definitely ranks him with . . . a handful of other masters in the limited circle of truly immortal historical scholarship."
