Sabine Schmidtke Books

Sabine Schmidtke is a scholar of Islamic intellectual history whose pioneering research has transformed perspectives on the interrelations and connections among different strands of intellectual inquiry across time, place, religions, and philosophical schools. She plays a central role in exploring previously unedited and unknown theological and philosophical writings, applying rigorous study to manuscripts in Arabic, Judeo-Arabic, and Persian. Her work focuses on reconstructing the textual heritage and intellectual import of the Islamic intellectual world, particularly from the 13th to 19th centuries. Schmidtke is also engaged in a comprehensive study of the Muslim reception of the Bible, a topic on which she has published extensively.
