"Man muss die Herausgeber bewundern ob ihrer editorischen […] Das vorliegende Buch zeigt, dass eine solche Kreativität weiter bestanden hat. Das war auch und vor allem an deren Rändern weiter der Fall. Dass darauf hingewiesen wird, ist einer der Vorzüge dieses Buches. Der andere ist, dass hier einem Universalgelehrten islamischer Kultur ein Denkmal gesetzt worden ist, das anderen Forschern Anlass zu weiteren Bemühungen um die Werke dieses bedeutenden Mannes geben wird.“ Peter Heine in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 115/4–5 (2020)
