Table of ContentsReviews' Haddad assumes a reader who is familiar with the terms and concepts of the Islamic tradition. The translators make sure, however, that the non-expert is not left without guidance. Indeed, one of the particularly impressive aspects of this translation is the notes, which carefully explain all important disciplinary terms as well as provide biographies of important figures both medieval and modern.
