Reviews

'If one is to read only one book on medieval Islamic economic history, ... this book,...unquestionably supersedes previous attempts at a general presentation.'
Richard W. Bulliet, Journal of Social History, 1996.
'...cet ouvrage particulièrement bienvenu sera examiné de près par les spécialistes de l'histoire économique du monde musulman et par les médiévistes.'
Claude Gilliot, Revue des Sciences Philosophiques et Théologiques, 1995.
'This study will serve as the model for the history of labor in the premodern, non-western world.'
Gladys Frantz-Murphy, American Historical Review, 1996.
'L'ouvrage de Maya Shatzmiller trouvera naturellement sa place dans toutes les bibliothèques et dans toutes les bibliographies spécialisées sur l'histoire de l'Orient médiéval et secondairement dans celles qui s'intéressent à l'histoire du travail. Il ouvre une voie qui sera suivie par nombre de chercheurs.'
Thierry Bianquis, Journal of Economic and Social History of the Orient, 1996.
...a fascinating book, richly documentedd and opening up a largely new area of Islamic social and economic activity.
E. Edmund Bosworth, Journal of Semitic Studies, 1997.
