Reviews
"These two volumes, which resulted from the collaboration of sixteen authors (eight Arabs and eight Turks), are to be studied comparatively in order to highlight those aspects which are emphasised by each author regarding Arab-Turkish relations. … In the field of Arab-Turkish relations where publications are seriously lacking, these works are really the first working tools. … " Faruk Bilici, TURCICA, 29 (1997)
"The book is composed of two parts, one prepared by an Arab committee and the other by a Turkish committee. Both committees treated the same subjects independently and published the results in a single volume for comparative purposes. … A successful scholarly work and a serious attempt for a sincere exchange of ideas." Taner Yuksel, Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft, 147/2 (1997)
