Abstract

(First paragraph) Humor in early Islam, by Franz Rosenthal, with an introduction by Geert Jan van Gelder (Brill Classics in Islam: 6) (Leiden & Boston: Brill, 2011), xviii + 154 pp., ISBN: 978-90-04-21148-3, EUR75.00 / $107.00 (hb) This book by Franz Rosenthal, a scholar in Arabic and Semitic studies, was first published in 1956 and did hardly lose any of its significance until the present day. Therefore it was a splendid initiative to have it re-edited, this time with an intelligent introduction by Geert Jan van Gelder.
