Reviews
« Les deux éditeurs […] ainsi que tous les contributeurs ont pris conscience du fait que le sujet de leur conférence, les Héritages des Omeyyades, soulève plusieurs questions, mais, en même temps, illumine quelques questions existantes. Ce fait est l’indication d’un grand succès ainsi qu’une invitation de poursuivre les itinéraires supplémentaires de la première dynastie de l’Islam. »
