Abstract
First paragraph:
This is the second book of Professor Campanini that has been
translated into English. His first book, The Qurʾan: The Basics (also
published by Routledge, 2007) was very favourably reviewed and
received. These translations into English are a very welcomed development
for they make available the scholarship of Italian scholars
which is not usually known in the Anglo-American sphere. Professor
Campanini’s work joins now the work of his Italian compatriot Professor
Roberto Tottoli which has been available in English for a while.
Actually the current book under review grew out of the last chapter
of his book The Qurʾan: The Basics.
