First paragraph: A recent survey volume on medieval philosophy has called Dimitri Gutas, Professor of Arabic and Graeco-Arabic at Yale University, “the leading living historian of Islamic thought.” Such judgments are to some extent a matter of taste, of course, but few scholars have as good a claim to the title as Gutas. His publications include pioneer-ing work on the tradition of Greek-Arabic gnomologia, one of the most significant monographs ever published on Avicenna, and a penetrating and influential study of the Graeco-Arabic translation movement. In collaboration with Gerhard Endress he has also led the GALex project to document this same translation movement. In short, this is a man who deserves a good Festschrift.
