A Faithful Sea: The Religious Culture of the Mediterranean, 1200–1700 232 Book Reviews simply delightful to peruse. One can open it on any page and learn something fascinating and new, offered in an accessible way. Readers owe Nawal Nasrallah a huge debt of gratitude for this impressive work, and no kitchen or research library should be without it. LEYLA ROUHI Williams College, London, UK Leyla.Rouhi@williams.edu 2010 Leyla Rouhi ADNAN A. HUSAIN and K.E. FLEMING, 2007 Oxford: Oneworld vi þ 226 pp., ill. US$29.95/£19.99 (paperback) ISBN 9781851684960 This book is a collection of eight articles written by scholars in the field: seven historians, and one English literary medievalist. The historians are wide-ranging, from art history specialists, experts on Islam, and literary historians, to specialists in Jewish studies. The monograph comes bundled with an erudite introduction, a crisp article surveying the role of Greeks in Mediterranean maritime history, and two articles on the role of Jews in trade and commerce, and their contribution towards eye-witness history and oriental studies. The book is adorned with a 21-page bibliography of 352 select references, give or take a few. A six-page, rather Spartan, index tails the book. The introduction is laced with references to the late Huntington’s 15-year old ‘‘clash of civilisations’’ thesis.
