Reviews
“This collection of essays brings us a wonderfully rich and multifaceted view that does justice to the elusive character of Averroes’s figure and to the extent to which it has shaped Western culture. … The high quality of all these essays is evident and the book will be of profit to many scholars with different interests.” (Lucian Petrescu, Journal for Early Modern Studies, Vol. 5 (1), 2016)
