title: The Canonization of al-Bukhr and Muslim (Islamic History and Civilization)
author: Brown
description: [Brown] has produced an ambitious study that will itself become a canon for the study of the canonization of the Saayn and so like them it is worthy of much attention and analysis.<br /><i>Herbert Berg</i><br /><br />This is an unusual book in many ways, all of them good. Its scope is strikingly broad, it is in conversation with the latest scholarship both in the field of specialization and also in the wider world of theory, and it is well-written. While one may disagree with some of Brown's specific and general conclusions, this book deserves to be read for many years to come.<br /><i>Jonathan E. Brockopp, Islamic Law and Society, 2010</i><br /><br />"This study abandons the conventional genre to which the Orientalists, who have explored the prophetic tradition, have accustomed us: it really brings something new. [...] this book deserves to be consulted for a good number of years to come."<br />Michel Lagarde in <i>Islamochristiana</i> 37 (2011), p.306-307.<br /><br />
