Reviews"The author has succeeded in exploring some common bonds among a variety of subjects in a nuanced manner with a remarkable analytical acuity. The glossary is quite illuminating and the Bibliography rich... For all those interested in the interface and interaction between the oral and the written media in the transmission and documentation of the Islamic intellectual heritage in its inchoate stage, and indeed for all Islamicists and Arabists, Schoeler's effort is a masterpiece in the class of the Harvard historian of religion William Graham." - Amidu Olalekan Sanni; Middle Eastern Literatures: incorporating Edebiyat, 13:1, 117-119 (2010)., "The author has succeeded in exploring some common bonds among a variety of subjects in a nuanced manner with a remarkable analytical acuity.

SynopsisMade up of a number of seminal articles that are translated in English for the first time, Gregor Schoeler gives a comprehensive overflow of how the written and the spoken interacted, diverged and received cultural articulation among the Muslim soceities of the first two centuries of the Hijra., Made up of a number of seminal articles that are translated for the first time in English, this prestigious book from Gregor Schoeler gives a reasoned, informed and comprehensive overflow of how the written and the spoken interacted, diverged and received cultural articulation among the Muslim societies of the first two centuries of the Hijra., Over the last few decades a number of books have appeared on aspects of the written and the oral within pre-modern Islamic societies and their intellectual ideas. Traditionally, these books have focused mainly on the religious dimensions, on literature and the development of genres, on the transmission of scholarly ideas and practices, or the intellectual foundations of the Islamic sciences. To date, however, there are no books available in English which provide an authoritative, reasoned and comprehensive overview of how written and the oral interacted in early Islam. "The Oral and Written in Early Islam" fills this void and investigates the diverged and received cultural articulation among Muslims and within Muslim intellectual life of the early centuries of the Islamic Era which includes the seventh to ninth centuries of the Common Era. This volume is a translation of six German articles by Professor Gregor Schoeler the majority of which have not been translated into English before. Each article has been brought up to date, made accessible as possible to the non-specialist, and includes a glossary of key terms. The work also benefits from a substantial introduction by James Montgomery.
