Conversion to Islam in the Premodern Age

"This is an extremely well-conceived volume on the crucial topic of conversion, composed of enthralling selections all translated and annotated by top specialists. The field of Islamic history lacks good sourcebooks, so this volume fills a large void and opens up new vistas for both teaching and research."--Ahmet T. Karamustafa, Professor of History, University of Maryland "Any reader interested in interreligious relations and conversions will take great pleasure in discovering this diverse collection of texts, many translated into English for the first time from various languages. There is no doubt that this work, edited by renowned historians, will quickly become a standard reference."--Anne-Marie Eddé, Professor of Medieval Islamic History, Panthéon-Sorbonne University
